Voorheesville Elementary School

Summary:

Voorheesville Elementary School is a highly-ranked public elementary school serving 589 students in grades K-5 in the Guilderland Central School District in Voorheesville, New York. The school has consistently been recognized as one of the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Voorheesville Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students significantly outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was 64.95%, compared to the state average of 45.09%. However, the school's student population is notably less racially diverse than nearby schools like Elsmere Elementary (84.42% white) and Guilderland Elementary (62.11% white). Voorheesville Elementary also spends significantly more per student ($13,843 in 2022-2023) than the state average and nearby schools, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

Despite its high performance, Voorheesville Elementary's racial homogeneity raises questions about the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the school's consistently high rankings and low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 suggest it is a well-resourced and effective educational institution, providing a quality education for its students. Overall, Voorheesville Elementary School appears to be a standout elementary school in the region, though its demographics warrant further exploration.

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.
