Best Public Schools in Oakdale, NY

Summary:

The city of Oakdale, New York is home to two schools: Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School and Idle Hour Elementary School, both part of the Connetquot Central School District. While Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School has mixed performance, Idle Hour Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school in the region.

The socioeconomic differences between the two schools, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates, may be a contributing factor to their disparate results.
