East Elementary School

Summary:

East Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Long Beach, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 312 students. The school is part of the Long Beach City School District, which is ranked 237 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While East Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school faces some unique challenges. For example, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and Hispanic and White students performing better than Asian and African American students. Additionally, students with special education needs and English Language Learners have the lowest performance at the school. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 31.41%, also contributes to its lower overall performance compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as West Elementary School and Lindell Boulevard School, which generally outperform East Elementary School on state assessments.

However, East Elementary School's high per-student spending of $27,288 in the 2022-2023 school year and low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.7 suggest a focus on providing resources and support to address these performance gaps. While the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with rankings as high as 555 out of 2,201 New York elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year, continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall academic outcomes.

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.
