Summary:
The Farmingdale Union Free School District in New York is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and relatively lower-performing schools within the district, with Albany Avenue Elementary School and Woodward Parkway Elementary School standing out as the top performers.
Albany Avenue Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York, outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. With the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and the highest spending per student, the school's strong academic performance may be attributed to its resources and socioeconomic factors. Woodward Parkway Elementary School also performs well, exceeding the district and state averages in Math proficiency and boasting the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its success.
In contrast, Northside Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts, while Saltzman East Memorial Elementary School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting differences in the socioeconomic status of the student populations across the schools. These variations in performance and resource allocation present opportunities for the district to collaborate and share best practices to support the academic growth of all its elementary schools.
