Summary:

North Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brentwood, New York, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 855 students. The school is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, which is ranked 800 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 88.77% Hispanic, much higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. The school consistently underperforms academically, with only 19.51% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) in 2022-2023, compared to the district's 24.83% and the state's 44.89%. Additionally, 87.84% of North Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While all the schools in the Brentwood Union Free School District struggle academically, North Elementary School consistently performs the worst. For example, in 2022-2023, the proficiency rates in ELA and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at North Elementary were significantly lower than the other Brentwood schools, such as Southeast Elementary and Twin Pines Elementary. When compared to schools in the neighboring Commack Union Free School District and Hauppauge Union Free School District, the academic performance gap is even more pronounced, as these schools serve more affluent and less racially diverse student populations.

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.
