Summary

Park Avenue School is an elementary school located in Amityville, New York, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 578 students. The school is part of the Amityville Union Free School District, which is ranked 801 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, Park Avenue School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is significantly lower than the state average and the performance of nearby schools like McKenna Elementary, Unqua Elementary, and East Lake Elementary. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rates for Park Avenue School ranged from 26.09% in 5th grade science to 50.54% in 3rd grade math, well below the state averages.

Park Avenue School also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.64% to 76.38% over the past few years, significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $17,692 in 2021-2022 to $33,986 in 2023-2024, which does not appear to have translated into significant improvements in academic performance. These findings suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improving educational outcomes and addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.
