Summary:
The Wyandanch Union Free School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Lafrancis Hardiman Elementary School and Martin Luther King Elementary School. Both schools are struggling academically, with low test scores and rankings compared to the state average.
Neither school stands out as a high performer, with both Lafrancis Hardiman Elementary and Martin Luther King Elementary ranking in the bottom tier of New York elementary schools. The test scores at both schools are significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. Additionally, the schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes remain poor. The Wyandanch Union Free School District as a whole is ranked 831 out of 865 districts in New York state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting the district is facing significant challenges in supporting its students' educational needs. The district and school leaders may need to explore more comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of the low performance and support the needs of their students.
