Sycamore Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Sycamore Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bohemia, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 382 students. The school is part of the Connetquot Central School District, which is ranked 344 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Sycamore Avenue Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $25,718 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8 students per teacher, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the Connetquot Central School District and New York state averages across all grade levels. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, such as female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, whose rankings have been consistently lower than the state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Connetquot Central School District, Sycamore Avenue Elementary School generally underperforms. For instance, Idle Hour Elementary School and Edward J Bosti Elementary School have consistently higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math across grade levels. The school's performance has also fluctuated over the years, suggesting that it has struggled to maintain consistent academic progress. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (27.49% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, as this could indicate that the school serves a population with higher levels of economic disadvantage.

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.

Open Quote I conduct blues history lessons and songwriting workshops annually at this school. The teachers are all incredibly helpful, professional, caring, and enthusiastic. The kids are amazing. Everyone from the administrators to the custodians are super friendly. It's a great place to be, and I look forward to my two days there every spring! Close Quote

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.
