Summary:
The Islip Union Free School District in New York has only one middle school, Islip Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some bright spots, such as strong performance on certain Regents exams, its overall academic performance on state assessments is below the state average.
Islip Middle School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math range from 20.31% to 48.15%, significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance on the 8th grade Science assessment is also below the state average, with only 22.73% of students proficient. However, the school's Regents exam results are more promising, with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and 75% proficiency in Algebra I, outperforming the state averages.
The school's relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 37.44% suggests that it may be serving a population of students facing socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. While the school district's per-student spending is higher than the state average, there may be opportunities for Islip Middle School to align its curriculum and instructional practices across different assessment types to improve overall academic outcomes.
