Summary:
The 11542 zip code area of Glen Cove, New York is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and significant representation of other racial and ethnic groups. However, the data reveals some concerning disparities in academic performance, with the elementary and middle schools generally underperforming compared to state averages on standardized assessments.
One standout school in the area is Robert M Finley Middle School, which outperformed the district and state on several Regents exam proficiency rates, including a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9. Another high-performing school is Glen Cove High School, which achieved higher proficiency rates than the district and state in Regents exams for Chemistry and English, and has a diverse student population with 64.67% Hispanic, 23.71% White, and 7.62% African American students.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage across the schools, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 53.96% to 69.86%. This factor may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed and underscores the importance of targeted interventions and resources to support students from low-income families. Overall, the schools in the 11542 zip code face a complex set of challenges, but the standout performance of the middle school suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement and replication of successful practices across the district.
