Best Public Schools in Setauket, NY

Summary:

The city of Setauket, New York is home to two exceptional public schools, Paul J Gelinas Junior High School and Setauket Elementary School, which serve students from grades K-8 and are part of the highly-ranked Three Village Central School District.

Paul J Gelinas Junior High School stands out as a top-performing institution, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in New York state. With exceptional academic results, low absenteeism, and high per-student funding, the school demonstrates a commitment to providing a quality education. In contrast, Setauket Elementary School, while also a strong performer, does not quite reach the same level of excellence as the junior high school, though it still maintains solid academic outcomes and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate.

Across both schools, the student population is predominantly white and Asian, which may warrant further investigation into the diversity and equity of educational opportunities in the district. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the junior high school compared to the elementary school suggests a potential prioritization of resources for older students or differences in cost structures between the school levels. Overall, the Setauket area is home to a high-quality public education system, with Paul J Gelinas Junior High School standing out as an exceptional institution worthy of further study.
