Summary:
The city of Rocky Point, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Rocky Point High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school boasts impressive test scores, with over 90% proficiency in Regents exams across multiple subjects, as well as a relatively low dropout rate and solid graduation rate.
In contrast, the Rocky Point Middle School and the elementary schools in the Rocky Point Union Free School District lag behind the state averages in English Language Arts and Math assessments. However, the middle school stands out for its 100% proficiency rates in Regents Algebra I and Living Environment exams, as well as better-than-average performance in 8th grade Science assessments.
The data also reveals that the schools in the district have a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.64% at the high school to 36.66% at the intermediate school. This suggests a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the district, which may contribute to the underperformance at the middle and elementary levels. The district also spends more per student and has lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, indicating that resources may not be the primary factor in the academic disparities observed across the schools.
