Summary:
The Center Moriches Union Free School District in New York serves students from 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the district spends significantly more per student than the state average, the schools exhibit varying levels of performance, with Center Moriches High School standing out as a strong performer and Center Moriches Middle School struggling on state assessments.
Center Moriches High School is the district's top performer, ranking 527 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%, along with strong performance on Regents exams, with over 75% proficiency in several subject areas. In contrast, Center Moriches Middle School struggles on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates well below the state average, despite its strong performance on Regents exams.
The district's spending per student is significantly higher than the state average, which could indicate a focus on resource allocation. However, the district also maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, which can be beneficial for student learning. Additionally, the district's free and reduced lunch rates are lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively more affluent student population. While the high school's performance is commendable, the district should focus on addressing the challenges faced by the middle school and the declining performance at Clayton Huey Elementary School to ensure consistent quality and equity across the district.
