Summary:
The East Hampton Union Free School District has only one elementary school, John M Marshall Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 1043 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1563 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 and 1410 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.
The school's performance on state assessments is mixed compared to state averages. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school's proficiency rates are below the state average for 3rd and 5th grades, but slightly above the state average for 4th grade. In Math, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average for all three grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th). However, in Science, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rate is above the state average.
Despite the school's declining performance, it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.73% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $27,429, which is significantly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 10.3, which is lower than the typical class size. These factors suggest that the district is investing significant resources into the school, but the academic performance data indicates that these investments may not be translating into improved student outcomes.
