Best Public Schools in Central Islip, NY

Summary:

The Central Islip school district in New York consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 749 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the district.

However, a few schools stand out as bright spots.

In particular, Marguerite L Mulvey's 4th graders have over 55% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Math.

In contrast, Central Islip Senior High School faces significant challenges, with a low 72.2% four-year graduation rate, a high 6.4% dropout rate, and an extremely concerning 54.1% chronic absenteeism rate. Across the district, schools generally perform below state averages on assessments, though Ralph Reed School stands out with stronger Regents exam performance. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 77.29% to 88.36%, indicate significant economic disadvantage in the Central Islip Union Free School District.
