Best Public Schools in Lawrence, NY

Summary:

The city of Lawrence, New York is home to two schools: Lawrence Elementary School At Broadway Campus and Lawrence Middle School At Broadway Campus, both part of the Lawrence Union Free School District. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 78% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both the elementary and middle school levels.

The data shows that both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three years, with the elementary school dropping from 970th out of 2,434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,925th out of 2,445 in 2023-2024, and the middle school declining from 1,131st out of 1,479 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,307th out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. This decline in rankings is accompanied by underperformance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with the schools consistently scoring below the district and state averages.

However, the middle school has shown some bright spots, with 100% proficiency on the Common Core Geometry Regents exam and high proficiency on the Living Environment and Algebra I Regents exams. This suggests that the school may be able to provide more advanced learning opportunities for its students, despite the overall academic challenges faced by both the elementary and middle schools in the district.
