Best Public Schools in Shirley, NY

Summary:

Among the 4 schools, William Floyd Elementary School stands out with the highest statewide ranking and the strongest academic performance, often exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School also performs well, particularly in Math, with 5th-grade proficiency rates above the district and state levels. However, the William Floyd Learning Center lags behind the other schools in the district, with much lower proficiency rates in both subjects.

This highlights the importance of how resources are allocated and utilized within the school system, rather than just the overall level of funding.
