Summary:

Sheafe Road Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wappingers Falls, New York, serving 575 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Wappingers Central School District, which is ranked 312 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheafe Road Elementary School stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 45.91% White, 7.13% African American, 38.78% Hispanic, 4% Asian, and 4.17% two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby schools, such as Myers Corners School and James S Evans Elementary School, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in New York State Assessments, is generally lower than the Wappingers Central School District and the state average, particularly in the lower grades.

Sheafe Road Elementary School also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.74%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 16.11% to 32.81%. This suggests that the school serves a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $15,439 is higher than the nearby schools, which range from $14,169 to $20,737 per student. Despite these challenges, the school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well, with their subgroup rankings often higher than the school's overall ranking.

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.
