Grundy Avenue School

Summary:

Grundy Avenue School is an elementary school located in Holbrook, New York, serving 470 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Sachem Central School District. While the school has a predominantly White student population, it faces some academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) performance.

Grundy Avenue School's test scores in ELA and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 42.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 46.75% and the state's 44.89%. Similarly, the 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was just 18.18%, significantly lower than the district's 41.75% and the state's 48.79%. This performance has contributed to the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, placing it in the lower half of New York elementary schools. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing notably worse than their White peers.

However, Grundy Avenue School's proximity to some higher-performing elementary schools, such as Tamarac Elementary School and Merrimac School, which have higher rankings and star ratings, presents opportunities for collaboration and learning. Furthermore, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at around 21.91%, suggests that there may be potential for improvement and growth in the future.

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.
