Norwood Avenue School

Summary:

Norwood Avenue School is an elementary school located in Northport, New York, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 434 students. It is part of the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District, which is ranked 260 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norwood Avenue School has faced challenges in maintaining its academic performance, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and test scores. The school's performance is generally lower than the other elementary schools in the district, such as Pulaski Road School, Fifth Avenue Elementary School, and Ocean Avenue School, which have higher academic rankings, better test scores, and lower free and reduced lunch rates. When compared to schools in the Harborfields Central School District and Huntington Union Free School District, Norwood Avenue School's performance is also generally lower, with Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School in the Harborfields district having higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Norwood Avenue School compared to the other schools in the district may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, suggesting that socioeconomic status could be an important factor in student achievement. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio and spending per student have fluctuated over the years, which may impact the resources and support available to students. Addressing these issues could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
