Centennial Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Centennial Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roosevelt, NY, serving 499 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Roosevelt Union Free School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial Avenue Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Plaza Elementary School and Brookside Elementary School, which are part of the Baldwin Union Free School District. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, and there are significant disparities in academic achievement between different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and students with Special Education needs performing the lowest.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $27,547, which is significantly above the state average, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (60.52%) and African American (36.07%), and a high percentage (49.5%) of students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's leadership and the district should prioritize addressing these issues to provide a high-quality education for all 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.
