Summary:
The Mineola Union Free School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Jackson Avenue School, Meadow Drive School, and Hampton Street School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Among the three schools, Meadow Drive School stands out as a high-performing institution, having previously reached the top 40 elementary schools in New York and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school also has the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a more affluent student population, and the highest per-student spending, indicating a strong financial investment. In contrast, Hampton Street School has the lowest student-teacher ratio, providing more individualized attention, but also serves the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.
The data also reveals a concerning trend at Jackson Avenue School, which has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating. This decline is reflected in the school's lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. The disparities in student populations and financial investments across the three schools suggest the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the factors contributing to the varying academic outcomes within the Mineola Union Free School District.
