Summary:

The city of Island Park, New York is home to two schools: Francis X Hegarty Elementary School and Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School, both part of the Island Park Union Free School District. The data reveals some notable differences between the two schools, as well as areas for potential improvement within the district.

The middle school stands out with a very low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, significantly lower than the 12.2:1 ratio at the elementary school. This suggests the middle school may provide more individualized attention and resources for its 259 students. Additionally, the middle school outperforms the district and state averages in several key subject areas, including 6th grade math, Algebra I, and Living Environment. In contrast, both schools generally perform below state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with some exceptions like 4th grade ELA at the elementary school.

While the elementary school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1676th out of 2,445 elementary schools to 1,226th, the district as a whole is ranked 504 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests the district may have room for improvement in overall performance. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and middle schools ($34,050 vs. $49,982) is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation into how resources are allocated within the district.
