William Floyd Learning Center

Summary:

William Floyd Learning Center is a small elementary school in Shirley, New York, serving just 68 students in grades K-5. It is part of the William Floyd Union Free School District, which is ranked 729 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at William Floyd Learning Center, ranging from $36,749 to $48,795 per year, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below the state and district averages. The school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 23.08% to 78.69% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and special education students.

Interestingly, Moriches Elementary School, Tangier Smith Elementary School, and William Floyd Elementary School, which are all located within the same William Floyd Union Free School District, generally perform better academically than William Floyd Learning Center, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the poor performance at this small school.

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.
