Roaring Brook School

Summary:

Roaring Brook School is an exceptional elementary school serving 433 students in grades K-4 in Chappaqua, New York. Part of the highly-ranked Chappaqua Central School District, Roaring Brook consistently outperforms its peers, ranking among the top 10% of elementary schools in the state.

Roaring Brook's academic performance is truly outstanding, with 74% of 3rd graders and 87% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 85% of 3rd graders and 84% of 4th graders proficient or better in math - all well above state averages. This consistent excellence is reflected in the school's 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Roaring Brook's student population is notably different from nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Asian students and lower percentages of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent and academically-focused student body.

In comparison to other local schools, Roaring Brook stands out as a true standout. While schools like Park School and Mount Kisco Elementary School serve more diverse and economically disadvantaged populations, Roaring Brook's laser-focus on academic achievement, small class sizes, and significant per-student spending set it apart as an exceptional educational institution within the Chappaqua Central School 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.
