Summary:
The 11709 zip code area is home to two highly-ranked elementary schools, Bayville Intermediate School and Bayville Primary, both part of the top-performing Locust Valley Central School District. These schools have consistently earned top rankings and ratings, with Bayville Intermediate ranking in the top 15% of New York elementary schools and Bayville Primary in the top 5% in recent years.
Academically, both schools excel, with students performing significantly above state averages in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments. Bayville Intermediate has proficiency rates ranging from 58-84%, compared to state averages of 45-54%. While Bayville Primary does not have recent state assessment data available, its strong rankings suggest it is also a high-performing school. The schools benefit from high per-student spending, over $30,000 per student, and very low student-teacher ratios, 9.5 and 11.2 respectively.
However, the student populations at these schools are relatively homogeneous, with a large majority of white students and low percentages of minority groups. This demographic makeup may raise questions about equity and access for underrepresented populations. While the schools are performing exceptionally well overall, there may be opportunities to further improve outcomes, particularly for the small percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students.
