Summary

New Lane Memorial Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Selden, New York, with 783 students. The school is part of the Middle Country Central School District, which is ranked 740 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, New Lane Memorial Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were 40% for 3rd grade, 40.91% for 4th grade, and 27.72% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61%, respectively. The school has a very low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom 15-20% of New York elementary schools over the past several years. Additionally, the school's performance on the state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students.

When comparing New Lane Memorial Elementary School to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Jericho Elementary School and North Coleman Road School, the academic performance is generally lower, with New Lane Memorial ranking in the bottom half of the district's elementary schools. Despite the school's low performance, the spending per student has increased over the years, from $16,120 in 2021-2022 to $26,314 in 2023-2024, but this increased funding does not seem to have translated into significant improvements in academic outcomes.

Not the best school by far. the reviews 3/10 so that tells it all. Teachers can be very nasty and the front desk or reception are nastyyy. Not sure if they even have a supervisor training them because the way they acted is very unprofessional. They change principle them a new Assistant them he left them a lady came . The new music teacher is rude and honestly is just terrible. This is my personal opinion regardless of any one else . Close Quote
