Lemoyne Elementary School

Summary:

Lemoyne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Syracuse City School District, with 351 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lemoyne's academic performance is a significant concern, with students performing well below state and district averages on New York state assessments. In 2023-2024, only 28.13% of 3rd graders, 31.58% of 4th graders, and 16.67% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68% respectively. Math proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 21.88% to 29.73% across grades 3-5, well below state averages. The school's subgroup performance is also concerning, with African American and special education students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,259 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average ($13,726) and nearby schools like Chestnut Hill Elementary in the Liverpool Central School District, which outperforms Lemoyne by 10-15 percentage points in ELA and Math proficiency, the additional funding does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The high percentage of low-income students, combined with the school's low ranking and lack of improvement over time, suggest that Lemoyne may be facing significant challenges that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and a focus on equity.

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.
