Summary:

The Island Park Union Free School District consists of two schools - Francis X Hegarty Elementary School and Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in the Island Park community.

The middle school stands out with a very low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, suggesting more individualized attention for students. It also outperforms the district and state averages in several key subject areas like 6th grade math, Algebra I, and Living Environment. In contrast, the elementary school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving up several hundred spots over the past year. However, the district as a whole appears to be performing below state averages in many academic areas, particularly in English Language Arts, with a notable drop-off in proficiency rates from 4th to 5th grade.

Interestingly, the middle school spends significantly more per student at $49,982 compared to $34,050 at the elementary school. This difference in spending may contribute to the middle school's stronger academic performance in certain subjects. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the Island Park Union Free School District, with some bright spots at the middle school level but broader academic challenges across the system that may require targeted interventions to address.
