Summary:
The Islip Union Free School District in New York consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is ranked 642 out of 865 districts in the state, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts.
Islip High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with consistently high Regents exam scores and a solid 84.3% graduation rate, exceeding the state average. In contrast, the district's overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger suggests there may be systemic challenges that need to be addressed. The Maud S Sherwood Elementary School also performs well, outpacing the district and state averages on many 3rd-5th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
The data reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% at Islip High School, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at the elementary schools suggest these schools may face greater challenges in supporting students from lower-income backgrounds, an area the district could focus on to ensure equitable resources and support are provided.
