About Robbins Lane Elementary School

Robbins Lane Elementary School serves 469 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Syosset, New York. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated exceptional — and the comparative data reinforces that label clearly. The school ranks #36 out of 4,739 public schools statewide and outperforms 99% of New York schools.

At the elementary level, it places 30th among 2,549 elementary schools across the state, a distinction that holds against the full state pool and the more targeted peer group alike. A student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 keeps classes tight, giving students notably more direct teacher time than the typical public school setting. Academic performance (9.0) and student growth (9.1) scores run nearly parallel — a sign that the school isn't coasting on incoming demographics but actively moving students forward.

Within Syosset, Robbins Lane ranks first among all 10 public schools in the district. For families weighing elementary options locally, that position — confirmed by statewide ranking data — makes the case without much additional argument.
