Sag Harbor Elementary School

Summary:

Sag Harbor Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 426 students in grades PK-5 in the affluent community of Sag Harbor, New York. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5.

Sag Harbor Elementary School stands out for its high academic achievement, with 59.42% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA, 60.94% in 4th grade ELA, and 68.85% in 5th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.89%, 48.79%, and 45.09% respectively. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with a majority of white students (68.78%) compared to nearby schools like Southampton Elementary School and Tuckahoe School, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Sag Harbor Elementary School serves a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (22.3%) compared to nearby schools like Southampton Elementary (50.8%) and Tuckahoe School (57.2%), suggesting it may serve a more affluent population.

The school's high per-student spending of $28,808 and low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 indicate it is well-resourced, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, it is important to ensure these resources are being used effectively to support all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background or race. While Sag Harbor Elementary School outperforms the state average, some nearby schools, such as Amagansett School and Tuckahoe School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting there may be valuable practices or approaches that could be shared and learned from these other high-performing schools.

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.
