Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11762

Summary:

The 11762 zip code area in Massapequa, New York is home to three elementary schools that are part of the Massapequa Union Free School District, a highly-ranked district in the state. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities for families in the area.

Among the standout schools in this area is McKenna Elementary School, which has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, McKenna Elementary is a top-performing option for families in the 11762 zip code. In contrast, both Birch Lane Elementary School and East Lake Elementary School have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past three school years, despite maintaining strong ratings from SchoolDigger in previous years.

The schools in the 11762 zip code area serve a predominantly White student population, with relatively low percentages of Hispanic and African American students. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is relatively low, suggesting these schools serve a more affluent student population. While the academic performance of these schools is generally strong, the lack of diversity and potential equity concerns warrant further investigation to ensure all students in the district have access to quality educational opportunities.
