Brookside Elementary School

Summary:

Brookside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Binghamton, New York, serving 386 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Susquehanna Valley Central School District, Brookside has consistently outperformed the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts and Math assessments across grades 3-5, with 4th-grade proficiency rates of 53.19% in ELA and 59.57% in Math, compared to 48.91% and 50% for the district, respectively.

However, Brookside's performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with special needs, has been relatively weaker, with these groups ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 45.08%, may contribute to these disparities. Compared to nearby schools, Brookside generally outperforms the F.P. Donnelly School but lags behind the higher-performing Vestal Hills Elementary School, which is part of the Vestal Central School District.

Brookside Elementary School's per-student spending has increased from $11,408 in 2019-2020 to $13,803 in 2022-2023, and its student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 10.8 and 14.2 during this period. Continued focus on addressing the performance gaps for economically disadvantaged and special needs students, as well as learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, could help Brookside Elementary School improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student community.

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.
