Summary

William Floyd Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 744 students in grades K-5 in Shirley, New York, which is part of the William Floyd Union Free School District. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 37.39% to 51.72% across different grade levels, compared to the state averages of 54.07% to 54.16%.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30% of New York elementary schools, students with disabilities and English Language Learners perform very poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 20% of schools, respectively. Despite the relatively high spending of $29,292 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's overall academic performance remains below the state average, suggesting that the district may need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and instructional practices.

When compared to other elementary schools in the William Floyd Union Free School District, such as Moriches Elementary School and Tangier Smith Elementary School, William Floyd Elementary School performs similarly or slightly better on state assessments. However, it lags behind schools in the higher-performing Eastport-South Manor Central School District, such as Dayton Avenue School.
