Stillwater Elementary School generally performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates ranging from 41.67% to 53.23% in ELA and 58.73% to 75.64% in Math. However, the school's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools in the Shenendehowa Central School District. Stillwater Elementary School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.15% to 32.26% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Shenendehowa schools.

Stillwater Elementary School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 457 to 1,272 over the past 10 years. This suggests that the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. When compared to the higher-performing schools in the Shenendehowa district, such as Skano Elementary School, Tesago Elementary School, and Chango Elementary School, Stillwater Elementary School lags behind, indicating that the school may need to explore additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and align its practices with the region's top-performing schools.

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.
