What stands out at Durhamville School

Durhamville School is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Durhamville, New York, enrolling 258 students.

Class loads run heavy: 18.4:1 is larger than about 97% of New York schools and 56% above the 11.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 56.2% lands close to the New York typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 258 puts it in the smaller third of New York schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 4,801 New York schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 453 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need New York schools statewide, it ranks #449, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly White (84% of enrollment) (diversity index 29/100).

Counselor access is stretched at roughly 516 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 48.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

Its district draws 16.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Oneida City School District also operates Oneida Senior High School (487 students) and Otto L Shortell Middle School (355 students) alongside Durhamville School.
