Summary

Sag Harbor Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 421 students in grades PK-5 in the Sag Harbor Union Free School District in Sag Harbor, New York. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across grades 3-5, with 84.06% of 5th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 56.61%, and 75.86% of 4th graders proficient in Math compared to the state average of 58.64%.

While the school's overall performance is strong, there are notable disparities in the academic achievement of certain student subgroups. The school's White students and Special Education students rank in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, but the performance of English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds ranks in the bottom 50%. The school's high per-student spending of $37,031 and low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 may contribute to its strong academic results, but also raise questions about the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its operations.

Compared to nearby schools, Mattituck-Cutchogue Elementary School is the only one that has comparable or slightly higher proficiency rates in some subjects and grades. Overall, Sag Harbor Elementary School maintains a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong performance relative to other New York elementary schools, but the school's leadership may need to explore targeted interventions to address the achievement gaps among its student subgroups.
