Summary:
The Amityville, New York school district consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a district that is struggling academically, with consistently low test scores and graduation rates across the schools. However, there are some bright spots, such as the relatively strong performance of Edmund W Miles Middle School on Regents exams.
The schools in the Amityville Union Free School District serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.88% to 76.38%. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the district. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $21,069 to $31,526, the schools continue to underperform, suggesting issues with resource allocation and utilization.
One potential bright spot is Northeast School, a small elementary school with just 124 students. This school stands out for its lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (22.58%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (7.7), which may be contributing to its relatively better performance. Leveraging the strategies and practices that are working at Northeast School could provide valuable insights for improving outcomes across the district.
