William B Tecler Arts In Education has a diverse student population, with 51.84% White, 38.83% Hispanic, and 5.64% two or more races. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.75% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools like Park Terrace School and Glendaal School.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at William B Tecler Arts In Education, at $16,583 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources, and the need to explore more targeted and evidence-based approaches to improve student learning. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and Special Education students, indicating a need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these student subgroups.

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.
