Summary:

Guggenheim Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Washington, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 492 students. The school is part of the Port Washington Union Free School District, which is ranked 93 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guggenheim Elementary School consistently performs well on state assessments, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 69.09% of 3rd graders, 76% of 4th graders, and 52.05% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68%, respectively. In Math, 77.19% of 3rd graders, 88.46% of 4th graders, and 73.33% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 53.93%, 58.03%, and 48.93%.

While Guggenheim Elementary School's performance is excellent within its district, it may lag behind some of the highest-performing school districts in the region, such as the North Shore Central School District and the Great Neck Union Free School District. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, Glenwood Landing Elementary School (North Shore) and E.M. Baker School (Great Neck) had significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to Guggenheim. However, Guggenheim's strong academic performance, particularly in ELA and Math, as well as its success in serving diverse student populations, are key strengths of the school.

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.
