Summary:

Holbrook Road School is an elementary school located in Centereach, New York, serving 367 students in grades 1-5. It is part of the Middle Country Central School District, which is ranked 726 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holbrook Road School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower proficiency rates on New York State Assessments compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates ranged from 19.51% to 26.87%, compared to the district's 25-28.6% and the state's 42.6-47.05%. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.95% to 34.48%, compared to the district's 28.77-40.06% and the state's 48.93-58.03%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students performing particularly poorly.

Holbrook Road School's academic performance has been declining over the past 10 years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 720 in 2017-2018 to 2194 in 2023-2024. While the school is part of the same district as Jericho Elementary, Oxhead Road, and North Coleman Road schools, its academic performance is significantly lower across most grade levels and subject areas. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the poor performance of its economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner subgroups, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic outcomes.

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.
