Summary:

The 11580 zip code area in New York is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spanning across 3 different school districts: Valley Stream Central High School District, Valley Stream 30 Union Free School District, and Elmont Union Free School District.

Among the standout schools in the area are Clearstream Avenue School, a top-performing elementary school in the Valley Stream 30 Union Free School District, and James A Dever School, another high-achieving elementary school in the Valley Stream 13 Union Free School District. The lone high school, Valley Stream Central High School, also has a strong academic track record, ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools with high graduation rates and relatively low dropout rates.

While the elementary schools in the area demonstrate exceptional academic performance, the middle and high schools show more mixed results. Chronic absenteeism rates are high at the secondary level, which may be impacting student outcomes. Additionally, there are disparities in per-student spending across the schools, ranging from $24,308 to $31,978, indicating potential funding inequities that could be influencing the resources and opportunities available to students.
