Summary:
The Center Moriches Union Free School District consists of three schools: Clayton Huey Elementary School, Center Moriches High School, and Center Moriches Middle School. The district serves students from prekindergarten through 12th grade and is located in the town of Center Moriches, New York.
Center Moriches High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.7% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%, both of which are better than the state averages. Additionally, the school is ranked in the top half of all New York high schools. In contrast, Center Moriches Middle School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 434 out of 1,242 in 2020-2021 to 1,228 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, indicating a concerning trend in academic performance.
Clayton Huey Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 5th-grade math proficiency, where 77.42% of students scored proficient or better, significantly higher than the state's 49.69%. However, the district as a whole appears to face challenges in academic achievement, with potential racial disparities and high chronic absenteeism rates at the high school level. The district's low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger may also indicate funding or resource challenges that could be impacting the schools' overall performance.
