Memorial Park Elementary School

Summary:

Memorial Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Waterville, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Clinton Central School District, which is ranked 436 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Park Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.47%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school generally performs better than the state average on New York State Assessments, but its performance is mixed compared to nearby schools like John F Hughes Elementary School and Hamilton Elementary School. Memorial Park Elementary School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.65% to 51.01% over the past three years, which is higher than some nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Memorial Park Elementary School, ranging from $11,824 to $19,764 over the past four years, its academic performance is not significantly better than nearby schools with lower spending per student. This suggests that factors other than funding, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may be more important in driving student outcomes. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from a high of 858 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,308 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, indicating that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

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.
