4 Great Neck Elementary Schools Rank Among State's Best

All four elementary schools in the Great Neck School District were ranked among the top 100 public elementary schools in New York, based on new rankings of the best schools in the state from Niche.com.

Here’s how they placed:

• Lakeville Elementary School— No. 6
• E.M. Baker School— No. 9
• Saddle Rock School— No. 15
• John F. Kennedy School— No. 67

A school in the Jericho School District is the highest ranked school in Nassau County and New York State.

According to Niche, a high ranking indicates that “students are happy with their experiences in all aspects, especially academics, teachers, and diversity,” “the school is an exceptional academic institution in terms of teachers, students, resources for learning, and student outcomes,” and “the school is made up of a diverse population and fosters an accepting, positive school culture.”

The study ranked 40,403 elementary schools across the nation. Read here for a full methodology.
