Uniondale Union Free School District


Summary:

The Uniondale Union Free School District in New York operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district, Walnut Street Elementary School and Smith Street Elementary School stand out for their strong academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from 39% to 69%. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their success. In contrast, Lawrence Road Middle School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

The district faces several challenges, including high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates at Uniondale High School. The significant variation in per-student spending across the schools suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance. By addressing these issues and focusing on improving student-teacher ratios and academic support, the Uniondale Union Free School District can work to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
