Northeast Elementary School

Summary:

Northeast Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brentwood, New York, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 942 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.

Northeast Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,772 and 2,263 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments is also significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.71% of 3rd graders, 28% of 4th graders, and 18.97% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68%, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the high per-student spending of $16,546 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average, Northeast Elementary School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or ranking over the past 10 years. When compared to nearby schools within the Brentwood Union Free School District, such as Southeast Elementary School, it becomes clear that Northeast Elementary School is struggling relative to its peers. The high poverty rates, with 88.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the school's challenges, and addressing these issues requires a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach.

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.
