Summary:

The Valley Stream 30 Union Free School District in New York operates three high-performing elementary schools: Shaw Avenue School, Clearstream Avenue School, and Forest Road School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are known for their strong academic outcomes.

Among the three schools, Clearstream Avenue School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 241-217 elementary schools in New York state over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Clearstream Avenue School outperforms the district and state averages on most state assessment metrics, particularly in math and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 86.49% of 3rd graders at Clearstream Avenue were proficient or better in math, compared to 75.51% for the district and 59.7% for the state.

The other two schools, Shaw Avenue School and Forest Road School, also perform well, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. They generally exceed the district and state averages on state assessments, though not to the same degree as Clearstream Avenue. The district as a whole invests heavily in its schools, with spending per student ranging from $25,662 to $32,210 and relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the strong academic performance across the district.
