Summary

Southold Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 312 students in grades K-6 in Southold, New York. The school is part of the Southold Union Free School District, which is ranked 474 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southold Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 30% to 70% across different grade levels and subjects. Compared to nearby schools, the school's performance is mixed - it outperforms some schools, such as Greenport Elementary School, but underperforms others, like Sag Harbor Elementary School and Mattituck-Cutchogue Elementary School. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with some fluctuations in rankings and proficiency rates.

Southold Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.7 to 9.2 over the past few years, which is lower than many nearby schools. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, from around $22,000 in 2020-2021 to nearly $43,000 in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance has not shown a clear and consistent improvement over time, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing student outcomes. Addressing disparities in achievement among different student subgroups and improving the consistency of instruction across all grade levels could be important areas for the school and district to focus on.
