Searingtown School

Summary:

Searingtown School is a public alternative school in Albertson, New York, serving grades KG-11 with a total enrollment of 585 students. As part of the highly-ranked North Shore Central School District, Searingtown School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, diverse student population, and specialized educational offerings.

Searingtown School's students consistently outperform their peers at the state and district levels in both English Language Arts and Math assessments, with 84.31% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to 48.79% statewide. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 14.75% to 18.29% over the past three years, indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to nearby schools like Evergreen Charter School and Academy Charter School-Uniondale, which face challenges such as higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower Regents exam proficiency rates.

Searingtown School's strong academic focus is further highlighted by its higher per-student spending, ranging from $20,391 to $22,623 over the past four years, and its lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.2 to 11.8 over the past three years. This suggests smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. The school's performance can be compared to other high-performing schools in the region, such as North Shore Senior High School, which has a 100% four-year graduation rate and exceptional Regents exam scores.

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.
