Twin Pines Elementary School

Summary:

Twin Pines Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brentwood, New York, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 744 students. The school is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, which is ranked 810 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Pines Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students, and Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing better than the overall school average. However, the school's performance for African American and Special Education students is below the state and district averages. Twin Pines Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 1,600 and 2,000 out of around 2,400 schools, and an overall rating from SchoolDigger of 1 or 2 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance.

When comparing Twin Pines Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Brentwood Union Free School District, the performance gap is evident. Schools like Southeast Elementary, Hemlock Elementary, and Loretta Park Elementary generally outperform Twin Pines on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and its relatively high per-student spending suggest that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and targeted interventions to better support the needs of this school community.

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.
