Best Public Schools in Mastic Beach, NY

Summary:

The city of Mastic Beach, New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the William Floyd Union Free School District. While the schools face challenges with academic performance and student engagement, there are some standout schools and opportunities for improvement.

William Paca Middle School stands out for its relatively strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates above 70% in Algebra I and Living Environment. However, the school's overall state assessment scores in English Language Arts and Math are below average. In contrast, Tangier Smith Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments among the three schools, with nearly 47% proficiency in 5th grade ELA and 60% in 5th grade Math, though still below state averages.

The schools in Mastic Beach serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a high rate of economic disadvantage. Academic performance across the district is generally below state averages, with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism at William Floyd High School. However, the relatively small class sizes and higher-than-average per-student spending suggest that the schools have the resources to potentially improve outcomes, if these resources are leveraged effectively.
