Terryville Road School

Summary:

Terryville Road School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District, located in Port Jefferson Station, NY. With 454 students, the school consistently performs below state and district averages on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, Terryville Road School struggles to perform well across various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, white, English Language Learners, special education, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The nearby Clinton Avenue School and Boyle Road Elementary School in the same district also perform below state averages, suggesting a broader district-level challenge.

In contrast, the Port Jefferson Elementary School, which is in a different district (Port Jefferson Union Free School District), consistently outperforms Terryville Road School and the state averages, providing a useful comparison and potential model for improvement. The school's low academic performance despite increased spending per student suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and support for struggling students, may need to be examined to address the school's challenges.

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.
