Best Public Schools in Medford, NY

Summary:

The city of Medford, New York is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Tremont Elementary School and Oregon Middle School, while others like Eagle Elementary School and Patchogue-Medford High School face challenges.

Tremont Elementary stands out for its high performance on state assessments, with 3rd-grade students scoring significantly above district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, the district's middle and high school students struggle with math proficiency, scoring well below state averages. The high school, however, performs well on many Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and U.S. History and Government.

Across the district, there is a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 34.98% at Tremont Elementary to 53.72% at Oregon Middle School. This economic challenge may be impacting academic performance, and the district may need to focus on addressing equity issues to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
