Summary

John S Hobart Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 784 students in grades K-5 in Shirley, New York, which is part of the William Floyd Union Free School District. While the school has relatively high per-student spending, its academic performance has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.74% to 65.6% across different grade levels and subjects in the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's struggles are evident across multiple student subgroups, with significant disparities in performance between different demographic groups. For example, in 2024-2025, the proficiency rates for African American students ranged from 22.22% to 58.33%, while for white students, the range was 34.25% to 61.54%. The school also ranks in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations. Despite the high per-student spending, the school's academic performance has been declining over the past few years, suggesting the need for comprehensive interventions and reforms.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the William Floyd Union Free School District, such as Moriches Elementary School and Tangier Smith Elementary School, perform similarly to John S Hobart Elementary School, with proficiency rates that are also below state averages. This suggests that the district-wide challenges may be contributing to the low performance of John S Hobart Elementary School.
