Summary

Rhame Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school in East Rockaway, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the East Rockaway Union Free School District, which is ranked 394 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rhame Avenue Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school has also struggled to support certain student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for Hispanic students and students with special needs. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of $34,612 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.9, the school's performance has been declining over the years, suggesting the need for a closer examination of instructional practices and resource allocation.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Centre Avenue Elementary School and Waverly Park School, generally outperform Rhame Avenue Elementary School in academic achievement and student group performance. This highlights the potential for Rhame Avenue Elementary School to learn from the successful practices of its neighboring schools and make improvements to better serve its students.
