Summary:

Williston Park, New York is home to a single standout elementary school, Center Street School, which serves students in grades K-6. This school is part of the Herricks Union Free School District, a highly-ranked district in the state of New York.

Center Street School is a consistently high-performing institution, ranking 102nd out of 2,439 elementary schools in New York for the 2022-2023 school year and 160th out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating excellent overall performance. Its academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science exceed both the district and state averages across all grade levels.

The school's strong performance is likely attributed to the significant resources invested in it. Center Street School spends $33,469 per student, well above the state average, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1. While the school serves a relatively affluent student population, with only 23.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, these factors suggest the Herricks Union Free School District is dedicated to providing a high-quality education to the children of Williston Park.
