Summary:
The city of Bellport, New York has 3 schools serving students from elementary to middle school grades, all part of the South Country Central School District. Based on the available data, the schools in this area are consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates on state assessments across all grade levels. While the district spends relatively high amounts per student and maintains small class sizes, the academic outcomes do not reflect this investment.
Bellport Middle School and Frank P Long Intermediate School both have very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, ranging from 13% to 42% across grades 4-8. Kreamer Street Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 18.75% in ELA and 27.27% in Math for 3rd grade students. These scores are significantly below the New York state averages.
The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.55% to 57.64% across the schools, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the district. While the spending per student is relatively high, the academic performance does not seem to reflect this level of investment. Overall, the Bellport, NY school district appears to be facing systemic challenges in providing quality education to its students, and a comprehensive review and improvement plan may be necessary to address the underlying issues and support the success of all students.
