Oysterponds Union Free School District

Oysterponds Union Free School District is a small school district in New York that serves the Oysterponds community. The district contains a single school, Oysterponds Elementary School, which provides education for students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.

Oysterponds Elementary School has a mixed academic performance, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts but more variable results in math. The school outperforms the state average in ELA assessments for grades 3, 4, and 6, but lags behind in math for grades 3, 5, and 6. Despite these inconsistencies, the school maintains a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 40% of elementary schools in New York. The school's diverse student population, with 71.25% white and 22.5% Hispanic students, may present both challenges and opportunities for the district.

Oysterponds Elementary School benefits from significant resources, spending $28,636 per student, which is well above the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.2, suggesting a focus on personalized attention. However, the variable academic performance indicates that simply investing more resources may not be enough to ensure consistent student success. The district may need to examine how it is using its resources and consider ways to optimize its instructional practices and support systems to help all students reach their full potential.
