Summary

Fork Lane School is an elementary school in Hicksville, New York, serving 289 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Hicksville Union Free School District, which is ranked 433 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fork Lane School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 and higher spending per student at $33,667 compared to the district average, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were all below the Hicksville Union Free School District and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, particularly Hispanic students and students with special needs, is notably lower than the overall school performance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hicksville Union Free School District and nearby districts, such as J Fred Sparke School, Burns Avenue School, and Dutch Lane School, Fork Lane School generally underperforms in academic measures, despite its lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's lower performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of its diverse student population.
