Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11566

Summary:

The 11566 zip code area in New York is home to a strong educational landscape, with 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across three different school districts. The standout schools in this area include Sanford H Calhoun High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 20% of New York high schools, and Merrick Avenue Middle School, which has been a top performer among New York middle schools. Additionally, several elementary schools in the Merrick Union Free School District and the North Merrick Union Free School District have also been standouts, with Norman J Levy Lakeside School and Birch School ranking in the top 15% of New York elementary schools.

The schools in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District and the Merrick Union Free School District generally outperform the state averages on Regents and NY State Assessments, with many schools having over 70% proficiency rates. The North Merrick Union Free School District schools also perform well, but with more variability across grade levels and subjects. The racial makeup of the schools is relatively homogeneous, with white students making up the majority in all cases, and the low free/reduced lunch rates indicate that these schools serve relatively affluent communities.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a strong educational landscape in the 11566 zip code area, with several standout schools that consistently deliver high-quality education to their students. However, there may be opportunities to further improve equity and access, particularly for underrepresented groups. The positive correlation between spending per student and academic performance suggests that adequate funding is an important factor in supporting student success, and the generally low student-teacher ratios may also contribute to the schools' strong performance.
