Summary:
The 11798 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly non-white and economically disadvantaged student population, with significant challenges in academic performance and student outcomes.
One standout school is Academy Charter School 2 (The), a public charter elementary school that spends significantly more per student ($30,878) and has a much lower student-teacher ratio (9.6) compared to the other district-run schools in the area. This suggests the charter school may have more resources and smaller class sizes, which could contribute to its relatively stronger performance on some metrics. In contrast, Wyandanch Memorial High School has concerning graduation and dropout rates, with a 73.9% four-year graduation rate and a 7.2% dropout rate.
The middle school, Milton L Olive Middle School, stands out for its higher proficiency rates on the Regents exams compared to the other schools and the district/Wyandanch Union Free School District and state averages. This could indicate some effective practices or programs at the middle school level that could be worth further investigation. Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges faced by the schools in this area, which serve a predominantly non-white and economically disadvantaged student population, and the need for targeted support and resources to improve student outcomes.
