Island Park Union Free School District


Summary:

The Island Park Union Free School District is home to two schools - Francis X Hegarty Elementary School and Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School. While both schools serve diverse student populations, the middle school stands out with its exceptional academic performance and resource allocation.

Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School impresses with its strong test scores, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. This academic success may be attributed to the school's higher per-student spending of $31,475 and smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 6.9. In contrast, the elementary school, Francis X Hegarty, has a lower per-student spending of $22,946 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 11, which could contribute to its test scores being closer to the district and state averages.

Despite the middle school serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 43.54% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it continues to excel academically. This suggests that the district's investment in the middle school level is paying off and providing a strong educational foundation for its students. While the elementary school may be an area for improvement, the overall performance of the Island Park Union Free School District is commendable, with both schools offering unique strengths and opportunities for their students.
