Best Public Schools in Islip Terrace, NY

Summary:

The city of Islip Terrace, New York is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the East Islip Union Free School District. While the district's schools vary in performance, East Islip High School stands out as a top-performing institution, consistently ranking among the best high schools in New York state.

East Islip High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and impressive academic achievements, with over 90% proficiency on several Regents exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9% and a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, the district's middle school and elementary schools, East Islip Middle School, Connetquot Elementary School, and Ruth C Kinney Elementary School, do not perform as strongly, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state averages.

The district's schools also vary in terms of student demographics and spending, with the elementary schools having higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, potentially indicating socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. Additionally, while the district spends more per student than the state average, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes across all grade levels.
