Elementary Schools in Sachem Central School District

Summary:

The Sachem Central School District on Long Island, New York, is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools are located in various towns, including Lake Ronkonkoma, Farmingville, Holbrook, Holtsville, and Lake Grove, and have student populations ranging from 336 to 603.

Based on the data, a few schools stand out as performing well compared to the district and state averages. Cayuga School is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 1,158 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and consistently excels on state assessments. Tamarac Elementary School is the second-highest ranked, with exceptional math performance, and Wenonah School is the third-highest, with strong overall academic achievement.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities between the schools. The student-teacher ratio ranges from 10.7 to 13.5, and per-student spending varies from $16,271 to $19,226. Free and reduced lunch rates also differ, from 20.99% at Tamarac Elementary to 37.24% at Lynwood Avenue School. These differences suggest that factors beyond just district-level funding and resources may be contributing to the academic success of individual schools within the Sachem Central School District.
