Pulaski Road School

Summary:

Pulaski Road School is an elementary school located in East Northport, New York, serving 356 students in grades K-4 as part of the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with female students ranking particularly high among New York elementary schools.

Pulaski Road School's strong academic performance is complemented by its relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, which are both higher than the nearby schools in the same district. However, the school lags behind some of the top-performing schools in the neighboring Harborfields Central School District. Additionally, Pulaski Road School serves a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to other schools in the Northport-East Northport district.

Despite these challenges, Pulaski Road School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, demonstrating its ability to provide a quality education to its diverse student population. While the school's ranking among New York elementary schools has fluctuated, its strong test scores, low student-teacher ratio, and focus on supporting students from various backgrounds make it a standout option within the Northport-East Northport district.

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.
