The district as a whole is ranked 719 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Walnut Street Elementary School and Grand Avenue Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on state assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with Walnut Street ranking 3 out of 5 stars and Grand Avenue ranking 2-3 out of 5 stars. In contrast, the middle schools, Turtle Hook Middle School and Lawrence Road Middle School, as well as Uniondale High School, struggle with lower proficiency rates and rankings.

The data reveals significant disparities between the schools in the district, with the high-performing elementary schools contrasting sharply with the lower-performing middle and high schools. The district faces challenges such as low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high rates of chronic absenteeism at the high school level. Additionally, the schools in the district have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high-need student population. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, the success of Walnut Street and Grand Avenue elementary schools suggests that with the right strategies and resources, schools in the district can achieve higher levels of academic success.
