Summary

Goldie Maple Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Arverne, New York, with 322 students. The school faces significant challenges in serving its students effectively, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance, struggles with student subgroups, and high-poverty student population.

Goldie Maple Academy consistently performs below the district and state averages on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.08% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 54.15% statewide, and only 25.64% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to 59.7% statewide. The school also ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools for various student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, special education, and low-socioeconomic status students. Despite having significantly higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, reaching $33,646 per student in 2023-2024, this has not translated to improved academic outcomes.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, Goldie Maple Academy consistently underperforms. For instance, Wave Preparatory Elementary School, just 1.5 miles away, outperforms Goldie Maple Academy by over 50 percentage points in 3rd grade ELA and math proficiency. The school's enrollment has also decreased from 493 students in 2021-2022 to 322 students in 2023-2024, a 35% decline, which could indicate families are choosing to send their children to other schools in the area.
