Summary:
The city of North Baldwin, New York has only one school listed in the data set - Grand Avenue Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 298 students. The school is part of the Uniondale Union Free School District, which is ranked 719 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, Grand Avenue Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, its overall academic performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages. On the 2024-2025 New York State Assessments, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for grades 3-5 were lower than the district and state. This trend of underperformance is also seen in the 2023-2024 assessment results, with the exception of 3rd and 4th grade Math.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $58,333 in the 2023-2024 school year, its academic performance does not reflect these investments. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 56.71% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The combination of underperformance on state assessments, declining performance over time, and high poverty rates suggests that Grand Avenue Elementary School may be facing challenges in providing a quality education to its students.
