Louis V Denti Elementary School

Summary:

Louis V Denti Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 655 students in grades K-6 in the Rome City School District in Rome, New York. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

In the 2023-2024 school year, only 12-19% of students at Louis V Denti Elementary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42-47%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 15-28%, while the state average was 49-58%. The school's performance on science assessments is also low, with only 13.7% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 35%. Compared to nearby schools in the district, such as Stokes Elementary School and Ridge Mills Elementary School, Louis V Denti Elementary consistently underperforms.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 58.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. The school also has a higher percentage of minority students, with 26.9% African American, 16.5% Hispanic, and 4.6% multi-racial students. Despite increased per-student spending over the years, the academic performance has not shown significant improvement, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to critically examine how these resources are being utilized to support student learning.

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.

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.
