Bayview Elementary School

Summary:

Bayview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Islip, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 410 students. The school is part of the West Islip Union Free School District, which is ranked 526 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayview Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade math proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally lower, especially in the 4th and 5th grades. However, the school has consistently performed well in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 374 out of 2,110 New York elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2023-2024 school year. Compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Paul J. Bellew Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, Bayview Elementary School generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in math.

Despite these strengths, Bayview Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, dropping from a high of 374 in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 1,417 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing well for its special education students but struggling with its female and white student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups in the 2023-2024 school year.

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.
