Woodhull School

Summary:

Woodhull School is a small elementary school in Bay Shore, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of just 34 students. Despite its small size, this school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, thanks to its exceptional academic performance and well-resourced educational program.

Woodhull School's students excel on New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 80% proficiency in 3rd and 4th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.6% and 47.05%, respectively. In math, the school had 83.33% proficiency in 3rd grade and 80% in 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.93% and 58.03%. This consistent high performance has earned Woodhull School a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, placing it in the top 6.5% of elementary schools in New York.

The school's small size and high per-student spending, ranging from $36,264 to $59,672 over the past four years, contribute to its success. With a very low student-teacher ratio, Woodhull School is able to provide individualized attention and support for each student. However, the school's isolation from other nearby high-performing schools, such as Cherry Avenue Elementary and Idle Hour Elementary, may present some unique challenges in terms of collaboration and resource-sharing. Nonetheless, Fire Island Union Free School District, which Woodhull School is a part of, is ranked 62 out of 865 school districts in New York, demonstrating the overall strength of the educational system in the region.

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.
