Sachem Central School District

Summary:

The Sachem Central School District in New York consists of 15 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 551 out of 865 school districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Cayuga School, an elementary school, ranks 1158 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and is rated 3 stars. It has particularly strong performance in math, with over 65% of students proficient or better on state assessments. Tamarac Elementary School also ranks highly at 868 out of 2445 and is rated 3 stars, with impressive English Language Arts (ELA) performance. Meanwhile, Merrimac School stands out for its strong math results, with over 50% of students proficient or better.

The district and its high schools generally perform above the state average on Regents/Common Core exams, with particularly strong results in Chemistry, Algebra II, ELA, and Global History and Geography. However, the middle schools in the district tend to have lower rankings and proficiency rates compared to the elementary and high schools, suggesting a potential dip in academic performance during the middle school years. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools, from 20.99% to 37.24%, indicates potential socioeconomic disparities that may be impacting student outcomes.
