Church Street School

Summary:

Church Street School is a public elementary school serving 581 students in grades K-5 in the White Plains City School District in New York.

While the school has a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and White students, its overall student performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math have been relatively stagnant in recent years, and its statewide ranking fluctuates between 1,150 and 1,534 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students tending to outperform their African American and Hispanic peers.

Interestingly, Mamaroneck Avenue School and George Washington School, which are located in close proximity to Church Street School within the same district, tend to outperform Church Street School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources and support across the district, especially given Church Street School's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
