Summary

School 5 is an elementary school located in Oceanside, NY, serving grades 1-6 with a total enrollment of 450 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.

Overall, School 5 is a solid-performing elementary school, with strengths in academic achievement, particularly in Math and for certain student subgroups. The school generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels, with some notable exceptions. Notably, the school's performance for Special Education students is particularly strong, ranking in the top 10% of New York elementary schools in this category. However, there is room for improvement, especially in closing achievement gaps between different student populations and keeping pace with the highest-performing schools in the region, such as Hewitt School and Watson School in the neighboring Rockville Centre Union Free School District.

School 5's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students lags behind that of Asian and White students, a trend observed in many schools. The school's leadership and community may want to explore strategies to address these achievement gaps and continue to build on the school's strengths to provide the best possible education for all its students.
