Summary:

The Sayville Union Free School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Lincoln Avenue Elementary School, Sunrise Drive Elementary School, and Cherry Avenue Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of a district that is performing well overall, with all three schools ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools.

Among the three schools, Cherry Avenue Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide school ranking, placing 464th out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, Cherry Avenue had the highest proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with 75% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 81.4% proficient in math. Notably, Cherry Avenue achieves these strong academic outcomes with the lowest spending per student at $33,698, suggesting efficient resource allocation.

While the other two schools, Lincoln Avenue Elementary School and Sunrise Drive Elementary School, also perform well, they lag behind Cherry Avenue in several key metrics. Lincoln Avenue has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 14.49%, which may indicate greater socioeconomic challenges for its student population. The district should investigate this further to ensure equitable resources and support are provided across all schools.
