Within the district, a few schools stand out. The William Rall School is a high-performing elementary school, consistently ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Lindenhurst Senior High School also performs well, with high proficiency rates on Regents exams and a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the state average. However, the high school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%.
The data suggests that while the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom half of New York school districts, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools. The higher-spending schools generally perform better academically, indicating that resource allocation may be an important factor in student success. Additionally, there appears to be a disconnect between the elementary and high school performance, which could indicate a need to align curriculum and instructional practices across grade levels.
