Summary:
The city of Albertson, New York is home to three schools serving students from elementary through middle school grades, including one alternative school. The standout school in the area is Herricks Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in New York state and maintains a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school's students demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.
The Searingtown School, an alternative school, also stands out with strong academic performance, with its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages in both ELA and Math. While spending per student varies across the schools, with Meadow Drive School spending the most, the data suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as Herricks Middle School, the top-performing school, has the lowest spending per student.
The student-teacher ratios also differ across the schools, with Herricks Middle School and Searingtown School having lower ratios compared to Meadow Drive School. This may be a contributing factor to the academic success of the top-performing schools, as smaller class sizes can allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data analysis highlights the exceptional performance of Herricks Middle School and the strong academic outcomes of the Searingtown School, despite its alternative school designation.
