Syracuse Latin School

Summary:

Syracuse Latin School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Syracuse City School District, with a diverse student population of 642 students.

Syracuse Latin School stands out as a high-performing outlier within the district, significantly outperforming both the Syracuse City School District and the state of New York in academic achievement across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 68.25% of 7th-grade students at Syracuse Latin School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 20.19% in the district and 48% statewide. The school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, with its White students and special education students ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools. This success may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student ($14,769) and lower student-teacher ratio of 12.4.

When compared to other schools in the Syracuse City School District, Syracuse Latin School stands out as a high-performing outlier. For example, Seymour Dual Language Academy, Roberts K-8 School, and Bellevue Elementary School all rank in the bottom 1% of New York elementary schools and have significantly lower academic proficiency rates than Syracuse Latin School. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Syracuse Latin School is able to achieve strong academic outcomes, suggesting that the school's resources, teaching quality, and other factors may be able to overcome the challenges associated with poverty.

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.
