Connolly School

Summary:

Connolly School is an elementary school located in Glen Cove, New York, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 305 students. It is part of the Glen Cove City School District, which is ranked 724 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Connolly School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.26% of 3rd graders, 34.09% of 4th graders, and 32.65% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students and homeless students performing relatively well, while Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform poorly. Connolly School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, schools in the neighboring Roslyn Union Free School District and North Shore Central School District, such as Harbor Hill School, Glenwood Landing Elementary School, and Glen Head Elementary School, consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the state, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. The challenges faced by Connolly School appear to be systemic within the Glen Cove City School District, as nearby schools within the district also perform poorly.

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.
