The student-teacher ratio at C.E. Walters School is 14.9, which is lower than the state average.

The declining statewide ranking of C.E. Walters School, despite maintaining a 2-star rating, suggests that the school's performance may be stagnating or declining relative to other elementary schools in New York. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. While the school is allocating significant resources to its students, the declining statewide ranking and academic performance indicate that these resources may not be translating into improved outcomes for the students.
