Jericho Schools

What Jericho Schools does

Jericho Union Free School District (Jericho Schools) is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 3,200 students across the Town of Oyster Bay on Long Island's North Shore in New York. The district operates five schools: three elementary schools (Cantiague ES, George A. Jackson ES, and Jeffrey Ratner Robert Seaman ES, the last of which hosts the Universal Pre-K lottery program), Jericho Middle School (grades 6-8), and Jericho High School (grades 9-12). Its academic offerings include a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum with AP courses, dual enrollment college credit programs with Molloy, Stony Brook, St. John's, and Long Island University, a science research program competing locally through internationally, and a nationally recognized Fine & Performing Arts Department and competitive athletics program. Pupil Personnel Services provide counseling, psychology, social work, special education (CPSE/CSE), ENL support, and 504 accommodations.

The district is built on a standard K-12 educational technology stack rather than proprietary infrastructure: Canvas serves as the LMS, PowerSchool handles online registration and student information, ClassLink provides single sign-on, ParentSquare manages district-wide family communication, and Naviance supports college and career planning. The district runs a 1:1 technology initiative and participates in the NYS Universal Free Meals Program through a partnership with Aramark. Security infrastructure is maintained in partnership with Altaris Consulting. The district communicates with families through its website, ParentSquare, Instagram, and live-streamed YouTube broadcasts of Board of Education meetings.

Jericho Schools is a New York State government entity, not a commercial enterprise. It is funded primarily through local property taxes (subject to annual voter-approved budgets in May), New York State foundation aid and categorical funding, and federal grants including Title I and IDEA. There are no tuition fees for district residents, and the district provides universal free meals and 100% bus transportation to all K-12 students. Governance is provided by an elected five-member Board of Education, and the district is led by Superintendent Dr. Robert L. Kravitz, who began his tenure on July 1, 2025. The entity has no equity, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no traditional revenue model; traditional PE/VC/M&A frameworks apply only in a limited sense.

Directly comparable on geography, size, mission, and competitive set.

Closest comparable for board governance, funding model, and program breadth.
