Best Public Schools in Center Moriches, NY

Summary:

The Center Moriches Union Free School District in New York serves three schools: Clayton Huey Elementary School, Center Moriches High School, and Center Moriches Middle School. While the high school stands out as a strong performer, the elementary and middle schools face significant academic challenges that require attention.

Center Moriches High School is the district's top performer, ranking 527 out of 1,242 New York high schools with a 3-star rating. The school excels in Regents/Common Core exams, with over 75% proficiency in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and U.S. History. However, Center Moriches Middle School struggles with state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The district spends significantly more per student than the state average, and the student-teacher ratios are relatively low. However, the elementary and middle schools have seen their SchoolDigger ratings decline over the past few years, from 3 stars to 2 stars (elementary) and 2 stars to 1 star (middle). Additionally, Center Moriches High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower performance on state assessments compared to Regents/Common Core exams.
