Elementary Schools in Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District

The Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District in New York is home to four elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data analysis reveals significant differences in academic performance among these schools, with Boyle Road Elementary School standing out as the top performer, while Terryville Road School lags behind the district and state averages.

Boyle Road Elementary School consistently outperforms its peers, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on state assessments. In contrast, Terryville Road School struggles, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. The other two schools, Clinton Avenue School and Norwood Avenue School, fall somewhere in the middle, with declining performance over the past decade.

Despite the relatively consistent per-student spending and small class sizes across the district, the significant differences in academic performance suggest that simply increasing or equalizing funding may not be the sole solution. The district should closely examine the practices and strategies employed at the higher-performing Boyle Road Elementary School and consider ways to replicate or adapt those approaches to address the performance gaps and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
