Eldorado Elementary School

Summary:

Eldorado Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the East Ramapo Central School District in Chestnut Ridge, New York, with a student population of 533 that is predominantly Hispanic (82.74%).

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,124 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, Eldorado Elementary consistently underperforms academically. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 12.99% of 4th graders, 18.63% of 5th graders, and 22.02% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 18.32%, 17.6%, and 28.46%, respectively, and the state scores of 48.79%, 45.09%, and 45.82%. The math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 10% of 4th graders, 9.94% of 5th graders, and 15.58% of 6th graders reaching proficiency. This underperformance is significant when compared to nearby schools like Pomona Middle School, Kakiat Elementary School, and Chestnut Ridge Middle School, as well as higher-performing districts like Clarkstown Central School District and Suffern Central School District.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Eldorado Elementary, ranging from 80.68% to 88.76% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Factors such as teacher quality, curriculum, and access to resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and substantial improvements are needed to address the educational needs of its students.

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.
