Summary:
The city of Hempstead, New York is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly Hispanic and African American student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in Hempstead are Academy Charter School and Evergreen Charter School, both alternative charter schools that outperform the traditional public schools in the Hempstead Union Free School District on state assessments. In contrast, the district as a whole is ranked 817 out of 866 school districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5, indicating significant academic challenges.
Another standout school is Lawrence Road Middle School, which has relatively high performance on state assessments and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the Hempstead school district, such as increased funding, teacher professional development, and community engagement.
