Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11530

Summary:

The 11530 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, spread across two school districts - the Garden City Union Free School District and the Elmont Union Free School District. The standout school in this area is Garden City High School, which is consistently ranked among the top high schools in New York state and has exceptional student performance on Regents/Common Core exams. Another standout is Stewart Manor School, which is part of the Elmont district and also demonstrates impressive test scores and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The schools in the Garden City district, including Garden City Middle School and the elementary schools, show strong academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. These schools also have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 0.79% to 5.5%, and spend between $15,477 and $23,921 per student. In contrast, Stewart Manor School in the Elmont district has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 25.15% and spends $19,020 per student.

The data highlights the importance of considering both school-level and district-level performance when evaluating the quality of education in a given area. While the Garden City district as a whole is a standout, the Elmont district has at least one school (Stewart Manor) that is performing at a high level. The differences in performance and resource allocation between the two districts suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed outcomes, though this correlation is not explicitly stated.
