Laurel Park Elementary School

Summary:

Laurel Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brentwood, New York, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 665 students. The school is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, which is ranked 810 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Laurel Park Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 16.36% to 22.48% across grades 3-5, compared to the state average of 42.6% to 47.05%. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.09% to 37.04%, while the state average was 53.93% to 58.03%. The school's student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, also consistently perform below their peers across the state. Laurel Park Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the years analyzed.

While Laurel Park Elementary School is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, the nearby schools within the same district, such as Pine Park Elementary School, Oak Park Elementary School, East Elementary School, and Loretta Park Elementary School, generally perform better academically than Laurel Park. The high percentage of students from low-income families (87.67% in 2022-2023) and the school's low ranking and rating compared to other schools in the state may indicate that Laurel Park Elementary School faces significant challenges that could be contributing to its underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
