Summary:
The Greenport Union Free School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Greenport Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The district is located in a small coastal community, but the school's academic performance has consistently been among the lowest in the state.
Greenport Elementary School has ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranges from just 14.29% in 6th grade to 33.33% in 3rd grade, compared to the state average of 50-56%. In mathematics, proficiency rates range from 20% in 5th grade to 51.22% in 3rd grade, also below the state average of 51-60%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 35.71% is also significantly lower than the state average of 45.02%.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $29,556, which is significantly above the state average, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the solution, and the district and school may need to examine their instructional practices, resource allocation, and other factors to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 61.66% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance.
