Summary

Woodward Parkway Elementary School is a public elementary school in Farmingdale, New York, serving 775 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Farmingdale Union Free School District, which is ranked 354 out of 874 school districts in the state.

Woodward Parkway Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 4th-grade students outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math in recent years, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students performed below the district and state averages in 2024-2025. The school's 5th-grade students, however, outperformed the district and state in Science in 2023-2024 and 2020-2021. When compared to nearby schools, Woodward Parkway generally performs on par or slightly better, but some schools like Lockhart Elementary School and Albany Avenue Elementary School have consistently outperformed Woodward Parkway in recent years.

Woodward Parkway Elementary School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $20,899 in 2020-2021 to $33,053 in 2023-2024, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, is significantly lower than the overall school performance and the state averages. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these subgroups to improve their academic outcomes.
