Summary

Babylon Memorial Grade School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Babylon Union Free School District, with 473 students. The school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grades, with 5th grade Science proficiency significantly higher than the state average.

While Babylon Memorial Grade School generally outperforms nearby schools in the district, some schools in neighboring districts, such as South Bay School and Paul J Bellew Elementary School, also demonstrate strong academic performance. The school's high per-student spending and relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest it serves a more affluent student population compared to some nearby schools, such as William E Deluca Junior Elementary School and Forest Avenue School.

Babylon Memorial Grade School has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a stable and high-performing school. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and Special Education students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggests areas for improvement.
