Canal View Elementary School

Summary:

Canal View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Spencerport, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 442 students. While part of the Spencerport Central School District, which is ranked 563 out of 866 school districts in New York, Canal View Elementary has some unique characteristics that set it apart from its peers.

One notable difference is the school's racial makeup, with a higher percentage of white students (79.19%) compared to the more diverse student populations at surrounding schools. However, this diversity does not translate to academic success, as Canal View Elementary has lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and the state. For example, in 2022-2023, only 22.92% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, far below the district's 31.94% and the state's 44.89%. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (38.46%), indicating a larger proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite having higher per-student spending ($15,868 in 2022-2023) than other Spencerport schools, Canal View Elementary's academic outcomes are lower, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole factor in determining school performance. The school's declining performance over the years, with a ranking of 1299 out of 2439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023, down from a high of 269 in 2014-2015, is particularly concerning. Compared to nearby schools like Terry Taylor Elementary and Leo Bernabi School, which have higher test scores and better overall performance, Canal View Elementary faces significant challenges in improving its academic 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.
