Myers Corners School

Summary:

Myers Corners School is a public elementary school serving around 825 students in grades K-6 in the Wappingers Central School District in Wappingers Falls, New York. The school's student population is predominantly White (60.85%), with significant Hispanic (27.15%) and African American (6.91%) representation.

While Myers Corners School has seen fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 945th out of 2,439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023 to as low as 1,741st out of 2,395 in 2017-2018, its current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger places it in the middle range compared to other New York elementary schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is mixed, with White and Asian students generally performing better than their African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner peers. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were below the Wappingers Central School District averages, but above the state averages in most grade levels.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Wappingers Central School District, James S Evans Elementary generally performs below Myers Corners School in certain grade-level proficiency rates. However, despite the higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio at Myers Corners School, its academic performance is not consistently strong across all grade levels and student subgroups, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing the school's overall effectiveness.

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.
