Jackson Avenue School

Summary:

Jackson Avenue School is an elementary school located in Mineola, New York, serving grades 2-4 with a student population of 417. It is part of the Mineola Union Free School District, which is ranked 406 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jackson Avenue School has some strengths, such as its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, it appears to be underperforming academically compared to nearby schools and the state average. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math generally lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively lower rankings for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students compared to other schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Stratford Avenue School in the Garden City Union Free School District and Manor Oaks William Bowie School in the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Union Free School District, Jackson Avenue School generally underperforms in academic achievement. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher overall rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Jackson Avenue School suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.

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.
