W A Wettel Elementary School

Summary:

W A Wettel Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Sherrill City School District in Vernon, NY, with a student population of 251. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly in Math, and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

W A Wettel Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that exceed the district and state averages across all grade levels. In 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 48.28%, compared to 42.97% for the district and 44.89% for the state, while its 5th-grade Math proficiency rate was 80.77%, compared to 63.96% for the district and 49.69% for the state. This consistent academic excellence has earned the school a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of New York elementary schools.

However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse compared to nearby schools, with 91.63% of students identifying as White in the 2022-2023 school year. This lack of racial diversity may be a concern, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can benefit students' academic and social-emotional development. In contrast, schools like Seneca Street School in the Oneida City School District have a more diverse student population, with 85.22% White, 6.4% Hispanic, and 6.4% two or more races. Despite this demographic difference, W A Wettel Elementary School has been able to maintain strong academic performance for its economically disadvantaged students, who make up 44.62% of the school's 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.
