Summary:
The Manhasset Union Free School District is home to two exceptional elementary schools that consistently rank among the top in New York State. Munsey Park Elementary School and Shelter Rock Elementary School have both received 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and are ranked 96th and 48th, respectively, out of 2,445 New York elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Academically, both schools significantly outperform the state averages on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. Munsey Park Elementary School has particularly strong performance in 4th and 6th grade ELA, while Shelter Rock Elementary School excels in 5th grade Math. The schools' consistent high rankings and academic excellence indicate a sustained commitment to providing a high-quality education to their students.
While the data suggests that the schools serve relatively low-income student populations, with Munsey Park Elementary School having a free/reduced lunch rate of 6.95%, the difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($22,563 for Shelter Rock vs. $18,472 for Munsey Park) may be an area for further investigation to ensure that resources are being allocated effectively to support student learning and address any potential equity concerns within the district.
