Summary

School 3 is an elementary school located in Oceanside, New York, serving grades 1-6 with a total enrollment of 477 students. It is part of the Oceanside Union Free School District, which is ranked 224 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, School 3 has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, with a current ranking of 572 out of 2,445 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

School 3 consistently outperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were significantly higher than the state averages. School 5 and School 4, two nearby schools, generally perform lower than School 3, particularly in Math. This highlights School 3's strong academic program and its potential to serve as a model for other schools in the district.

While School 3 performs well overall, its rankings for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are slightly lower, in the top 30-35% of New York elementary schools. This suggests that the school may need to explore additional strategies to support these populations and ensure their academic success. However, the school's focus on equity and inclusive practices, as well as its efficient resource allocation, contribute to its overall success and make it a valuable asset within the Oceanside Union Free School District.
