Stagecoach School

Summary:

Stagecoach School is an elementary school located in Selden, New York, serving 353 students in grades K-5 as part of the Middle Country Central School District. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the district and state averages, while others have struggled, particularly among Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

Stagecoach School has a relatively high per-student spending of around $21,400, which is higher than nearby schools in the district. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is lower than some of the other schools, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes. The school has also seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25.28% in 2020-2021 to 42.78% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Stagecoach School's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 733 and 1,996 out of over 2,400 New York elementary schools. This suggests a need for more consistent and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes, particularly for underperforming subgroups. The school's proximity to several other elementary schools within the Middle Country Central School District and the Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District could provide opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices.

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.
