Summary:

The Wantagh Union Free School District is a high-performing school district in New York, consisting of 5 schools: 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Wantagh Senior High School is the district's flagship high school, ranking between 149-204 out of over 1,200 high schools in New York. It boasts impressive test scores, with over 90% proficiency in several Regents exams, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. Meanwhile, Mandalay School, a public magnet elementary school, is a standout performer, ranking among the top 210-684 elementary schools in the state and achieving 76-90% proficiency in ELA and Math for grades 3-5.

The Wantagh Union Free School District as a whole demonstrates strong academic performance, with all of its schools ranking in the top half of their respective categories statewide. This is likely due to the district's significant investments in education, as evidenced by its high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios. However, the relatively low rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients suggest the district may need to consider issues of equity and access for students from lower-income backgrounds.
