Leo Bernabi School

Summary:

Leo Bernabi School is an elementary school located in Spencerport, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 375 students. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to the surrounding area, its academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the district and state averages in recent years.

One key finding is that Leo Bernabi School ranks very low in the state for its performance with special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating these subgroups may be struggling academically. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 178 out of 2,325 elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 1,476 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance. Interestingly, nearby schools such as William C Munn School, Terry Taylor Elementary School, and Canal View Elementary School generally have higher academic proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to Leo Bernabi School, despite serving similar student populations.

The school's high spending per student, ranging from $12,787 to $14,793 over the past few years, which is higher than the surrounding schools, suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices and support systems to address the academic challenges faced by its special education and low-income student populations. Overall, while Leo Bernabi School has a relatively high percentage of white students, its declining academic performance and struggles with subgroups indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student 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.

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.
