Bayview Elementary School

Summary:

Bayview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Islip, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 410. The school is part of the West Islip Union Free School District, which is ranked 466 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayview Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.88%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Oquenock Elementary (74.56% white) and Marion G Vedder Elementary (31.28% white). Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with variations across grade levels and subject areas. For example, Bayview outperformed the district and state in 3rd grade Math, but its 5th grade Math performance was lower. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (7.8%), indicating a high socioeconomic status of the student population, and it performs well in serving its special education students.

Interestingly, Bayview Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 374 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4 stars) to 1,452 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023 (2 stars). When compared to nearby schools in the West Islip district, such as Paul J Bellew Elementary, which consistently outperforms Bayview, and Manetuck Elementary, which lags behind, it becomes clear that the local context is an important factor in evaluating a school's performance. Additionally, Bayview's relatively high spending per student, at $20,653 in 2022-2023, suggests the need to investigate how this additional funding is being utilized and its impact on student outcomes.

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.
