Summary:
The 11717 zip code area of Brentwood, New York is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While academic performance varies widely, a few standout schools emerge, such as Southeast Elementary School, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5 compared to the Brentwood Union Free School District and state averages.
The middle schools, East Middle School and North Middle School, stand out for their 100% proficiency rates on several Regents exams, while the Freshman Center, an alternative high school, also outperforms the district and state averages on some Regents exams. However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools performing well below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.
The high rates of economically disadvantaged students across all schools, as well as the variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggest that resource allocation and support for these communities may not be equitable. Addressing these disparities and identifying and sharing the successful strategies of the higher-performing schools could benefit the entire Brentwood Union Free School District.
