The district's middle school, Woodmere Middle School, also impresses with its strong performance on state assessments and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1.

The Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District serves a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds represented across its schools. While the district overall performs well, there are some equity concerns, as evidenced by the slightly lower academic performance of Ogden Elementary School, which has the highest percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients in the district. The district's high per-student spending, particularly at the high school level, appears to be translating into strong academic outcomes, but the district may need to address potential equity issues to ensure that all students have access to the same high-quality educational opportunities.
