Oysterponds Elementary School

Summary:

Oysterponds Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Orient, New York, serving grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 80 students. The school is part of the Southold Union Free School District, which is ranked 369 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oysterponds Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 83.33% compared to the state average of 44.89%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 77.78% compared to the state average of 53.85%. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.5 to 8.0 over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 8.3 to 15.6. However, Oysterponds Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students (around 70%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools, such as John M. Marshall Elementary School in East Hampton, which has a student body that is only 30.47% white.

Oysterponds Elementary School also stands out for its high per-student spending, ranging from $21,373 to $28,636 over the past four years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have spending per student ranging from $16,653 to $62,680. Despite the school's strong academic performance, its statewide ranking has declined from 654 out of 2,201 schools in 2020-2021 to 972 out of 2,439 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting that while the school is performing well, other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. The school's small size and rural location may present unique challenges, such as limited resources, difficulty attracting and retaining teachers, and potential socioeconomic disparities within the student population.

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.
