Lee Road School

Summary:

Lee Road School is an exemplary elementary school located in Wantagh, New York, serving 279 students in grades K-5 as part of the Levittown Union Free School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and the state of New York in academic assessments, with particularly strong results among specific student groups.

Lee Road School's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels, with impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 77.42% of 3rd graders, 70.37% of 4th graders, and 80.77% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Math, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. The school's performance is especially noteworthy among Hispanic and White students, ranking 84th and 355th, respectively, out of over 1,000 New York elementary schools in ELA proficiency.

Lee Road School's consistent high performance is further demonstrated by its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, which it has maintained for the past 10 school years. This achievement is particularly impressive given the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-poverty student population. While nearby schools within the Levittown Union Free School District also demonstrate strong academic performance, Lee Road School stands out as an exemplary elementary school in the region, likely due to its higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
