Summary:
The Deer Park Union Free School District is home to a single high school, Deer Park High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school stands out as a relatively strong-performing institution within the district and the state of New York, ranking in the top third of all high schools statewide.
Deer Park High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating solid overall performance. The school consistently outperforms the state average on several key Regents exam proficiency rates, including Algebra II (94.39% vs. 74.04%), English Language Arts (84.02% vs. 78.55%), and U.S. History and Government (95.31% vs. 78.47%). However, the school's proficiency rates in subjects like Physics (47.62%) and Algebra I (76.79%) are lower than the state averages, suggesting potential areas for improvement.
While Deer Park High School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is respectable, its dropout rate of 4.9% and chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% are areas of concern. Additionally, with 44.75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a relatively diverse student population in terms of socioeconomic status. Overall, Deer Park High School appears to be a strong-performing school within its district, but there are opportunities to address attendance issues and improve student outcomes in certain academic subjects.
