Summary:

The Elmont Union Free School District in New York operates 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

The standout schools in the district are Covert Avenue School, which consistently ranks in the top 390 schools statewide and has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, as well as Stewart Manor School and Gotham Avenue School, which also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Math. The district as a whole outperforms the state average in both ELA and Math proficiency, with rates ranging from 58-72% and 64-72%, respectively, compared to the statewide averages of 50-57% in ELA and 51-60% in Math.

Despite the district's overall strong performance, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly at Clara H Carlson School and Alden Terrace School, which have lower proficiency rates. The district's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $27,798 to $30,045, and small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios between 9.7 and 11.8, suggest a commitment to providing ample resources and support for students across the district.
