East Islip Middle School

Summary:

East Islip Middle School is a public middle school serving 804 students in grades 6-8 in Islip Terrace, New York, which is part of the East Islip Union Free School District. This school has demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math exceeding state averages across most grade levels.

One key strength of East Islip Middle School is its exceptional performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in both Living Environment and Algebra I in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school does face some disparities in performance among student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students generally outperforming their White peers, and students with disabilities tending to have lower proficiency rates. Compared to nearby middle schools, East Islip Middle School generally outperforms schools in the Brentwood Union Free School District, but lags behind some higher-performing schools in the Sayville Union Free School District and Connetquot Central School District.

Another interesting finding is that East Islip Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 22% in recent years) and its low student-teacher ratio of around 10:1 may contribute to its strong academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
