Paige Elementary School

Summary:

Paige Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 420 students in grades PK-5 in the Schenectady City School District in Schenectady, New York. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 32.86% Asian, 19.52% African American, 18.33% Hispanic, 18.1% White, and 10.95% two or more races.

Despite the school's higher spending of $15,610 per student, which is above the state average, Paige Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Woodlawn Elementary and Howe Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is significantly lower than the state and district averages, ranging from 19.67% to 45.21% in English Language Arts and 19.67% to 32.05% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.89% to 48.79% in ELA and 49.69% to 53.85% in Math.

The significant differences in performance between student subgroups at Paige Elementary School suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by certain groups of students, such as Asian and White students, who are performing significantly below their peers in the state. Additionally, the high percentage of students from low-income families, at 69.05%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and the school may need to explore additional support and interventions to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.

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.
