Summary:

The Valley Stream 24 Union Free School District in New York serves three elementary schools: Robert W Carbonaro School, Brooklyn Avenue School, and William L Buck School. The data analysis reveals significant variation in academic performance across these schools, with William L Buck School standing out as the top performer in the district.

William L Buck School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New York, with a statewide ranking of 486 out of 2,445 schools for the 2024-2025 school year and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

While William L Buck School had the highest spending per student at $32,583, it also had the strongest academic outcomes, suggesting a potential correlation between higher funding and better educational results.
