Best Public Schools in Oceanside, NY

Summary:

The Oceanside, New York school district consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Overall, the district performs well, with several standout schools like School 3 and School 8 ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools. The district's main high school, School 7-Oceanside Senior High, has a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.6% and low dropout rate of 0.2%, outperforming the state average.

While the district as a whole performs well, there is significant variation in metrics between individual schools. For example, Castleton Academy High School has a lower graduation rate and higher chronic absenteeism compared to the larger School 7-Oceanside Senior High. Additionally, the School 6-Kindergarten Center has an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 1,244:1, which is likely negatively impacting the learning environment for young students.

Overall, the Oceanside Union Free School District provides a quality education, with several high-performing schools. However, the district should examine ways to address disparities between individual schools and ensure equitable resources and support across the system, particularly for schools with concerning metrics like lower graduation rates or high student-teacher ratios.
