Centennial Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Centennial Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Roosevelt, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 499 students. The school is part of the Roosevelt Union Free School District, which is ranked 769 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial Avenue Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, and special education students, has been lower compared to the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.5% to 64.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively serving the diverse needs of its student population and addressing the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as those in the Baldwin Union Free School District and the Uniondale Union Free School District, Centennial Avenue Elementary School generally performs worse, with lower academic proficiency rates and poorer overall school rankings and ratings. This indicates that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its academic performance challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
