Washington Rose School

Summary:

Washington Rose School is an elementary school located in Roosevelt, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 637 students. The school is part of the Roosevelt Union Free School District, which is ranked 769 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Rose School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 12.31% to 34.92% across grades 3-6, compared to the state average of 42.6% to 47.05%. In Math, the proficiency rates ranged from 29.17% to 51.56%, compared to the state average of 50.56% to 58.03%. The school's performance for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of schools in New York. However, the school's relatively stronger performance for African American and English Language Learner students indicates that it may have some effective strategies or programs in place that could be leveraged and expanded.

When comparing Washington Rose School to other nearby elementary schools, such as Centennial Avenue Elementary and Camp Avenue School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. These nearby schools consistently outperform Washington Rose School on state assessments and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Washington Rose School and the school's low ranking within the district and state may suggest that it faces significant challenges in terms of resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support, which will require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve academic outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities 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.
