Summary:
The 11730 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, John F. Kennedy Elementary School and Timber Point Elementary School, both part of the East Islip Union Free School District. While both schools have high spending per student and serve a predominantly white student population, Timber Point Elementary has a stronger historical performance, ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools in 2011-2012 and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, John F. Kennedy Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 37% in 2020-2021 to the top 46% in 2022-2023. However, the school has mixed performance on state assessments, with 4th-grade ELA and Math scores exceeding the district and state averages, but 3rd and 5th-grade scores lagging behind. Additionally, John F. Kennedy Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7, compared to 14.7 at Timber Point Elementary School.
Overall, the data suggests that Timber Point Elementary School may be the stronger of the two schools in the 11730 zip code area, with its higher historical performance and current rating. However, more recent data on academic performance would be needed to confirm this, and the higher spending per student and smaller class sizes at John F. Kennedy Elementary School may also contribute to its strengths.
