Pasadena Elementary School

Pasadena Elementary School serves 443 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Plainview, New York. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — a rating MySchoolScout labels Exceptional — and ranks #32 of 4,739 public schools in New York. That standing places Pasadena ahead of 99% of the state's public schools, a result built across multiple score categories rather than a single standout metric.

Academic performance and growth run nearly parallel: a 9.1 academic score alongside a 9.0 growth score. Among New York's 2,549 elementary schools, Pasadena ranks #26 — a top-1% finish for its grade level. In Plainview itself, it ranks first out of eight schools.

These two rankings together — statewide and within-town — give families a complete picture of where the school stands. The student-teacher ratio sits at 9.8 to 1, keeping class sizes small and giving teachers time to work with students individually. For families comparing elementary options in the area, Pasadena delivers a rare combination: elite statewide rank, strong year-over-year improvement, and accessible classroom size — all in a regular public school.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, Pasadena Elementary School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
