Clayton Huey Elementary School

Summary:

Clayton Huey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Center Moriches, New York, serving 598 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Center Moriches Union Free School District. While the school has some strengths, such as higher test scores in certain grade levels and a lower student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges compared to nearby schools.

Clayton Huey has a significantly higher percentage of White students (67.56%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like John S Hobart Elementary and Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly above district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. However, the nearby Eastport-South Manor and William Floyd school districts often outperform Clayton Huey in many grade levels and subject areas.

Additionally, Clayton Huey has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.59%) compared to the higher rates at schools in the William Floyd Union Free School District, indicating a lower socioeconomic status in the surrounding communities. Despite having higher spending per student than nearby schools, Clayton Huey's performance is not significantly better, suggesting that factors other than funding may be more influential in student outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 4 stars in 2012-2013 to 2 stars in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in its relative performance compared to other New York elementary schools.

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.
