Whitehall Elementary School

Summary:

Whitehall Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Whitehall, New York, with an enrollment of 353 students. The school is part of the Whitehall Central School District, which is ranked 707 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whitehall Elementary School consistently performs below the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 6% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.6%. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 1,600-2,400 out of around 2,400 schools. It has consistently received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with its female students ranking in the bottom 2% of New York elementary schools, and its male students and special education students ranking in the bottom 10-15%.

In contrast, Lake George Elementary School, a nearby school, consistently ranks in the top 10-20% of New York elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments across all grades and subjects. The relatively low per-student spending at Whitehall Elementary School, ranging from $8,050 to $12,388 per student over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including examining resource allocation, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
