Clayton Huey Elementary School

Summary:

Clayton Huey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 598 students in grades PK-6 in Center Moriches, New York, which is part of the Center Moriches Union Free School District. While the school spends around $21,000 per student, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the state average.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively better than Hispanic students, English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearby schools in the Eastport-South Manor and William Floyd school districts generally perform better than Clayton Huey Elementary School on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. For example, Eastport Elementary School and Moriches Elementary School rank in the top half of New York elementary schools, while East Moriches Elementary School is among the top-performing schools in the state.

Over the past several years, Clayton Huey Elementary School's ranking and performance on state assessments have declined, with the school's rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families (around 30% free/reduced lunch recipients) may be contributing to its relatively poor academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant predictor of student achievement. Addressing these issues and implementing strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
