Summary

Setauket Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Three Village Central School District, with 604 students. The school has consistently received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance compared to other New York elementary schools.

Setauket Elementary School consistently outperforms the Three Village Central School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 75% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA, compared to 65.99% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 130 out of 696 New York elementary schools for Asian students and in the top 63 out of 287 for multi-racial students in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $22,951 to $36,304 over the past few years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 12.7 over the same period.

While William Sidney Mount Elementary and Arrowhead Elementary, the other schools in the Three Village Central School District, do not perform as strongly as Setauket Elementary School, the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (around 9% in recent years) suggests the student population may not be representative of the broader community, potentially indicating equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
