Copiague Union Free School District

The Copiague Union Free School District in New York serves 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 588 out of 865 school districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Among the schools in the district, Deauville Gardens East Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 773 out of 2,445 elementary schools in New York and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Great Neck Road Elementary School also performs relatively well, ranking 901 out of 2,445 elementary schools. However, the majority of schools in the district lag behind state averages on key metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and spending per student.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, which may be linked to the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, suggesting a predominantly low-income population. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios could indicate potential issues with resource allocation. The declining performance at the high school level, with below-average performance on Regents exams, is also a concern that warrants further investigation.
