What Parents Should Know

As a private school, Sunny Meadows Parochial School operates independently from the local public school district.

Why doesn't this school have a score?

We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. Private schools in NY aren't required to report standardized test scores to the state, which limits the data available for our rating model.

Our rating model requires at least 2 of 3 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
