Student demographics

Very small groups may be suppressed in the source, so categories do not always sum exactly to total enrollment.

What this means: About 51% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 53% typical for New York schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among New York's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →
