Summary:
The Glen Cove City School District in New York is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a low statewide ranking and below-average test scores, one school stands out as a relative bright spot - Connolly School.
Connolly School boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, often outperforming both the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Connolly's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 49.43%, compared to the district's 45.98% and the state's 56.61%. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle to meet state standards, with rankings in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.
Another standout school is Deasy School, which has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 52.38%, as well as the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.5. However, Deasy School also has the lowest spending per student at $24,452, compared to the highest-spending school, Connolly School, at $32,744 per student. The relationship between spending and performance is not consistent across all schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student outcomes in the Glen Cove City School District.
