Summary:
The Southold Union Free School District has only one elementary school, Southold Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 312 students. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, while others fall short.
Southold Elementary School's 5th grade students performed significantly better than the state average in ELA, with a 69.44% proficiency rate compared to the state's 56.61%. However, 3rd grade students lagged behind, with a 32.35% proficiency rate, well below the state's 54.15%. In Math, the school's 4th and 5th grade students outperformed the state average, but 3rd and 6th grade students struggled. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 62.07% was also higher than the state's 45.02%.
Southold Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $42,999 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1, indicating a significant investment in resources. However, the mixed assessment results suggest these resources may not be optimized for consistent academic achievement across all grades. Additionally, the school serves a population with a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 28.85% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
