Summary

Church Street School is a public elementary school serving 595 students in grades K-5 in the White Plains City School District in New York. The school has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, and the district as a whole is ranked 491 out of 874 districts in the state.

While Church Street School's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, the school performs better in Math, with 5th grade Math proficiency at 60% compared to the district's 56.5% and the state's 54.16%. The school also outperforms the district and state in 5th grade Science. However, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups, as well as its English Language Learner and Special Education students, perform below state averages for those subgroups.

The school faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 53.78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than nearby Mamaroneck Avenue School (40.27%) and Greenacres School. Despite these challenges, Church Street School's relatively high per-student spending of $35,859 suggests there may be opportunities for improvement if the school can effectively target the needs of its underperforming student subgroups.
