Gansevoort Elementary School

Summary:

Gansevoort Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Rome City School District in Rome, NY. With 443 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.9, Gansevoort Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Gansevoort Elementary students perform significantly below state and district averages on New York state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with only 5.8% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 44.89%, and just 10% proficient in Math compared to 53.68% statewide. The school also has a higher percentage of minority students (34.09%) and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (78.33%) compared to the surrounding Rome City schools, such as Stokes Elementary, John E Joy Elementary, and Bellamy Elementary, which have significantly higher academic performance and lower percentages of low-income students.

Despite spending $15,836 per student, which is higher than the spending at the nearby higher-performing schools, Gansevoort Elementary is not seeing commensurate academic results. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that a more comprehensive approach to school improvement is needed to address the unique challenges facing the school, such as its declining performance over the past several years and the racial and socioeconomic disparities that may be contributing to its poor outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

From what I've seen of this school staff including the principal they all actually care aloit about the students and go the extra distance to help. I'm thankful that my children go to this school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
