Summary

John J Daly Elementary School is a public elementary school in Port Washington, New York, serving 499 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Port Washington Union Free School District.

John J Daly Elementary School is a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 10-15% of elementary schools in New York. The school's students excel on state assessments, with 83.93% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 90.38% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, outperforming the district and state averages. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the state average, which likely contributes to its strong academic outcomes.

However, when compared to higher-performing districts like Great Neck and Manhasset, the school lags behind in certain areas, such as the performance of Asian and White students, as well as overall ELA and Math proficiency rates.
