Summary:
The 11704 zip code area is home to 8 public schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area show a mix of academic performance, with some standout institutions like West Babylon Junior High School and Santapogue School leading the way, while others like Forest Avenue School lag behind.
The West Babylon Union Free School District generally outperforms the North Babylon Union Free School District on state assessments. West Babylon Senior High School has a solid 84.3% four-year graduation rate, though its 4.9% dropout rate and 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate are areas of concern. Regents exam performance at the high school is strong, with over 85% proficiency in key subjects.
Interestingly, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic outcomes across the schools in this area. Some of the higher-spending institutions, like Forest Avenue School, have lower proficiency rates than lower-spending schools like Belmont Elementary School. Demographic factors, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, seem to play a more significant role in student performance.
