Summary:
The East Northport, New York school district consists of 3 schools - East Northport Middle School, Fifth Avenue Elementary School, and Pulaski Road School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District.
Based on the data, East Northport Middle School stands out as the highest performing school in the area. The middle school consistently achieves exceptional results on state assessments, with over 95% proficiency in 8th grade ELA and over 65% in math. It also boasts a 100% pass rate on key Regents exams like Earth Science, Living Environment, and Algebra I. The school is ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Fifth Avenue and Pulaski Road, while still performing above state averages, lag behind the middle school in many metrics.
Several factors may contribute to East Northport Middle School's standout performance, including higher spending per student ($27,817 compared to $22,494 and $23,401 at the elementary schools), a smaller student-teacher ratio (9.6 vs 12.2 and 10.3), and potentially serving a more economically diverse student population (18.44% free/reduced lunch rate vs 4.55% and 19.66% at the elementary schools). These insights suggest the middle school is providing a very strong educational experience for its students, while the elementary schools may have room for improvement to better prepare students for the rigors of middle school.
