Lincoln Avenue Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 30-40% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 788 out of 2,445 schools (top 32%). The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average, with 4th and 5th-grade students outperforming the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. However, 3rd-grade students have struggled in Math, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages in recent years. The school's performance for Hispanic students and Special Education students is particularly strong, ranking in the top 15% and top 10% of New York elementary schools, respectively. Conversely, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of New York elementary schools.

Lincoln Avenue Elementary School performs similarly to other schools in the Sayville Union Free School District, such as Sunrise Drive Elementary and Cherry Avenue Elementary, which also rank in the top 30-40% of New York elementary schools. However, the school's performance lags behind some nearby schools in the Bayport-Blue Point Union Free School District, such as Sylvan Avenue Elementary and Academy Street Elementary, which rank in the top 20% of New York elementary schools. The school's ranking has also declined from the top 20% of New York elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the current top 32% in 2023-2024, indicating a potential need to review and strengthen the school's instructional practices and support systems.

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.
