Lynwood Avenue School

Summary:

Lynwood Avenue School is an elementary school in Farmingville, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Sachem Central School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Lynwood Avenue School stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic (30.59%) and Asian (5.42%) students compared to other local schools. However, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 38.71% lags behind the district's 46.75% and the state's 44.89%. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming female students and Hispanic and White students performing better than African American and Asian students. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.24%), which may contribute to its lower academic outcomes.

While Lynwood Avenue School has a higher spending per student ($17,128) than nearby schools, its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance. In comparison, Waverly Avenue School and Tamarac Elementary School, also part of the Sachem Central School District, have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, indicating potential opportunities for Lynwood Avenue School to learn from the practices of higher-performing institutions within the same district.

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.
