Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11738

Summary:

The 11738 zip code area is home to two schools - Sachem High School East, a high school, and Lynwood Avenue School, an elementary school. While both schools serve the local community, Sachem Central School District's high school stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top third of New York high schools and boasting strong academic proficiency rates, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. In contrast, the elementary school appears to be performing more modestly, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages.

Sachem High School East's academic excellence is evident, with Regents exam proficiency rates exceeding state averages across core subjects like Algebra I, Chemistry, and English. The school's 92.2% four-year graduation rate and 1.3% dropout rate are also impressive, indicating the school is effectively preparing students for college and career. However, the racial demographics of the two schools differ, with Sachem High School East having a higher percentage of White students compared to Lynwood Avenue School.

Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as Lynwood Avenue School serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Sachem High School East suggests a potential difference in resource allocation between the high school and elementary school. These disparities highlight the need to ensure equitable access and outcomes for all students within the Sachem Central School District.
