Summary

Montauk School is an exceptional elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Montauk Union Free School District, with 297 students and a strong performance history. The school consistently outperforms the state average on New York State Assessments, with 100% proficiency in 8th grade ELA and Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state averages.

Montauk School's success extends beyond overall academic performance, as it also delivers impressive results across different student subgroups. White students rank in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, while Hispanic students and special education students also perform above average. The school's high per-student spending of $51,709 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio of 7.4 likely contribute to its ability to support all learners effectively.
