Montauk School

Summary:

Montauk School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Montauk, New York, with 303 students. The school is part of the Montauk Union Free School District, which is ranked 261 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Montauk School has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 789 out of 2,445 schools.

Montauk School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 76% of 3rd graders at Montauk School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42.6%. The school also has a 100% proficiency rate on the Regents Exams for Earth Science and Algebra I, significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school struggles more with its Hispanic student population, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of schools for this subgroup.

Montauk School has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $31,170 to $46,218 over the past few years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.3 to 8.7. This suggests the district is investing significant resources into the school, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. In comparison, nearby schools like Oysterponds Elementary, Wainscott School, and Sag Harbor Elementary generally perform at a lower level on state assessments and have lower spending per student.

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.
