Roscoe Conkling Elementary School

Summary:

Roscoe Conkling Elementary School is a public magnet school in Utica, New York, serving 511 students in grades K-6. Unfortunately, this school has consistently underperformed compared to the Utica City School District and the state of New York, ranking in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in the state over the past decade.

Roscoe Conkling Elementary struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively. The school ranks in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools for Asian, African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.93% to 85.3% over the past three school years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. When compared to nearby schools in the Utica City School District, such as General Herkimer Elementary School and Hugh R Jones Elementary School, Roscoe Conkling consistently underperforms, ranking in the bottom 15% of New York elementary schools while the nearby schools rank in the top 30-40%.

The challenges faced by Roscoe Conkling Elementary School are not new, as the school has struggled to improve student outcomes for many years. This suggests that the school may not be effectively implementing strategies to address the needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from low-income families. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement to ensure that all students at Roscoe Conkling Elementary receive a high-quality education.

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.
