Summary

Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 703 students in grades K-4 in the Longwood Central School District in New York. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with only 47.12% of 3rd graders and 38.46% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, and 42.16% of 3rd graders and 41.46% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math.

Ridge Elementary School has particularly low performance for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite a relatively high spending per student of $36,959 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, the school's academic performance has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from ranking 759 out of 2,352 New York elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,884 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025.

Comparing Ridge Elementary School to its neighbors, such as Coram Elementary School and Wading River School, suggests that factors beyond just the Longwood Central School District may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The low performance of subgroups at Ridge Elementary School also raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to meet the needs of its diverse student population.
