Summary:
The city of Port Jefferson Station, New York is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 669 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are worth highlighting.
Comsewogue High School is the highest-performing school in the data set, ranked 476 out of 1,242 high schools in New York with a 3-star rating. The school boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. Additionally, Comsewogue High School performs well on several Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography. In contrast, Boyle Road Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages on several 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math, particularly in 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Math.
The data also reveals a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools, from 30.1% at Comsewogue High School to 42.86% at Clinton Avenue School, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the district. This, along with the relatively low rankings and 1-star rating of the overall school district, indicates room for improvement in the quality of education across the district and the need for additional resources and support to address the challenges faced by the student population.
