Archer Street School

Summary:

Archer Street School is an elementary school located in Freeport, New York, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 495 students. It is part of the Freeport Union Free School District, which is ranked 472 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Archer Street School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.27% of 3rd graders and 38.14% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 42.27% and 41.55%, and the state's 42.6% and 47.05%, respectively. However, the school has shown some strengths in the performance of African American students and English Language Learners, ranking highly among New York elementary schools in these subgroups. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.35% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its academic challenges.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Freeport Union Free School District, Archer Street School generally underperforms. For example, New Visions Elementary School, Leo F Giblyn School, and Bayview Avenue School all outperform Archer Street School in ELA and Math proficiency. The school's increased per-student spending, from $17,617 in 2019-2020 to $23,838 in 2022-2023, suggests a commitment to improving outcomes, but the continued academic underperformance may indicate a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of these investments and explore alternative strategies or resource allocation approaches.

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.
