Geyser Road Elementary School

Summary:

Geyser Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 348 students in grades K-5 in the Saratoga Springs City School District in Saratoga Springs, New York. The school's student population is predominantly White (86.78%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, two or more races, African American, Asian, and Native American students.

While Geyser Road Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.4 students per teacher) and higher per-student spending ($16,057) compared to other elementary schools in the district, its academic performance is a concern. The school's proficiency rates on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school ranks particularly low for Special Education students (1 out of 5 stars) and Low Socio-Economic Status students (1 out of 5 stars), indicating significant achievement gaps for these populations.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Chango Elementary School, Dorothy Nolan Elementary School, and Greenfield Elementary School, Geyser Road Elementary School generally underperforms academically, despite its lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, and further investigation into the specific needs of its student population would be necessary to address these issues.

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.
