Summary

Gardiners Avenue School is an exceptional elementary school in Levittown, New York, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Levittown Union Free School District. The school consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency, with its 3rd-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates reaching 60% and 84.09% respectively in the 2024-2025 school year.

Gardiners Avenue School's strong academic performance extends across different student subgroups, with the school ranking among the top 404th out of 1,402 schools for White students, 440th out of 2,098 schools for students of low socioeconomic status, and 125th out of 1,044 schools for special education students in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's ranking for Asian students was lower, at 496th out of 696 schools, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

The school's consistent excellence is reflected in its high rankings, with a peak of 180th out of 2,352 schools in New York in the 2014-2015 school year, and its 4- or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past decade. Factors that may contribute to Gardiners Avenue School's success include its relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which has increased from $16,378 in 2020-2021 to $29,994 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance is generally stronger than nearby schools within the Levittown Union Free School District, some schools outside the district, such as Parkway School in the East Meadow Union Free School District, have even higher academic achievement, providing opportunities for Gardiners Avenue School to learn and improve further.
