E M Baker School

Summary:

E M Baker School is an exceptional elementary school located in Great Neck, New York, serving 664 students in grades K-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a strong commitment to academic excellence that has earned it a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

E M Baker School's academic performance is truly outstanding, with students consistently scoring significantly higher on state assessments than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's diverse student population, with a majority Asian student body and a relatively small percentage of African American and Hispanic students, is quite different from many of the nearby schools, which tend to have a higher proportion of White and Hispanic students. Despite this diversity, E M Baker School's students perform exceptionally well across all racial and ethnic groups, suggesting that the school is effectively serving the needs of its diverse student body.

Interestingly, while E M Baker School outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Lakeville Elementary School, in terms of academic achievement, some of the other schools in the Great Neck district also demonstrate exceptional performance, ranking among the top 20 elementary schools in the state. Additionally, the relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students at E M Baker School may contribute to the school's high academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in student achievement. However, the school's strong performance across all student subgroups suggests that it is effectively addressing the needs of students from diverse backgrounds.

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.
