Frank P Long Intermediate School

Summary:

Frank P Long Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Bellport, New York, serving 576 students in grades 4-5. The school is part of the South Country Central School District, which is ranked 814 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frank P Long Intermediate School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.9% of 4th-grade students and 18.81% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 47.05% and 43.68%, respectively. The school's performance in math and science is also significantly below the state average. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (57.64%) and diverse student population (38.5% Hispanic, 31.6% White, 22.2% African American, and 4.7% Asian) contribute to the academic challenges.

While the school has relatively high spending per student ($18,802 to $20,407) and a low student-teacher ratio (10.9 to 12.2 students per teacher), its academic performance remains significantly below that of nearby schools, such as Medford Elementary and Tremont Elementary in the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District, as well as C.E. Walters School in the Longwood Central School District. The school's challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to its poor academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
