LITTLE FLOWER SCHOOL

LITTLE FLOWER SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the LITTLE FLOWER UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in WADING RIVER, NY with about 97 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, LITTLE FLOWER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Little Flower Union Free School District, located in Wading River, New York, is a specialized educational institution that serves students with unique academic, social, and emotional needs. Operating in conjunction with the Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York, the school provides a therapeutic and supportive environment for students who may have struggled in traditional public school settings. The curriculum is designed to be highly individualized, focusing on both academic achievement and the development of essential life skills, ensuring that students receive the specialized attention necessary for their personal and educational growth.

The school is dedicated to fostering a structured and nurturing atmosphere where students are empowered to succeed despite past challenges. By maintaining small class sizes and employing a multidisciplinary approach—which often involves collaboration between educators, clinicians, and support staff—Little Flower UFSD creates a stable foundation for learning. Their mission emphasizes the holistic development of each child, aiming to provide them with the tools, confidence, and character traits required to transition back to their home communities or move forward into post-secondary success.
