York Central Elementary School

Summary:

York Central Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Retsof, NY, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 279 students. The school is part of the York Central School District, which is ranked 373 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While York Central Elementary School has a relatively small class size and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, the school has generally performed below the state average on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5. The school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with special needs performing significantly lower than their peers. Nearby schools, such as Warsaw Elementary School, Livonia Elementary School, and Caledonia-Mumford Elementary School, generally outperform York Central Elementary School on state assessments, particularly in ELA.

Additionally, York Central Elementary School has a less diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, such as Mount Morris Elementary School and Geneseo Elementary School, which may be a factor in the school's performance. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (57.71% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's lower performance on state assessments.

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.
