Summary

William Floyd Learning Center is an elementary school located in Shirley, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 71 students. It is part of the William Floyd Union Free School District, which is ranked 700 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with rankings between 2401 and 2416 out of around 2,400 schools in recent years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages, with only 22.22% of 3rd-grade students proficient in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, compared to 43.51% and 54.15% for the district and state, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male, Hispanic, and special education student subgroups.

While Moriches Elementary, Tangier Smith Elementary, and William Floyd Elementary generally perform better than William Floyd Learning Center, the district as a whole struggles compared to state averages. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at William Floyd Learning Center may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school's very low student-teacher ratio suggests that the high per-student spending may not be effectively utilized to improve student learning.
