Lloyd Harbor School, Huntington NY

Original Research by School Decision on Lloyd Harbor School

Lloyd Harbor School serves second through sixth grade in the Cold Spring Harbor Central School District, a mid-sized elementary school located on Long Island in Huntington. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly white, with a small share of Hispanic and Asian students and very few students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The community context is affluent, with housing values well above state and national medians, though the rental market has seen recent price increases.

Academically, Lloyd Harbor shows strength in mathematics proficiency. Across grades three through six, math proficiency rates range from the mid-eighties to low nineties, with third graders posting the highest results. English language arts proficiency is solid but somewhat lower, ranging from the high seventies in third grade to the low eighties in the upper grades. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits in the mid-sixties, notably lower than math and ELA results. Overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places this school in the top quartile among districts in Suffolk County. The school maintains strong test participation rates, generally in the high eighties to high nineties, suggesting reliable engagement with state assessments.

Third grade is the school's strongest grade in math and shows relatively strong ELA results, though third-grade ELA is slightly below the results of fourth through sixth grades. By fourth and fifth grade, proficiency rates dip somewhat from third-grade levels in both subjects, then remain relatively stable or decline slightly in sixth grade. Science results, available only for fifth grade, represent a meaningful gap compared to ELA and math performance, a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand whether this reflects curriculum focus, assessment alignment, or student preparation in that content area.

The school is part of a district that has recently launched a district-run pre-kindergarten program in fall 2024, a new option for families with four-year-olds. Budget and tax-levy increases have been voter-approved over recent years and remain modest, providing fiscal predictability for residents.

Huntington itself is a mixed community. The village center near Main Street is walkable with restaurants, galleries, and shops, but the broader town is car-dependent and centered on single-family homes. Major employment concentrates in the Route 110 corridor near Melville, with office parks and corporate headquarters, while civic anchors like Heckscher Park provide community programming and arts. Huntington Station, to the south, is undergoing transit-oriented redevelopment as a winner of the state's Downtown Revitalization Initiative, with new mixed-use housing and pedestrian improvements underway. Lloyd Harbor School itself sits on School Lane in Huntington, serving families in that area.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
