Summary:
The 11901 zip code area of Riverhead, New York is home to 6 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Riverhead Central School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 760 out of 865 in New York and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out. Riverhead Senior High School has the highest enrollment and better-than-average graduation and dropout rates, though its test scores are generally below district and state averages. Pulaski Street Elementary School has the highest test scores among the elementary schools in the area, performing closer to district and state averages.
The schools in the 11901 zip code serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This may contribute to the lower test scores and other performance metrics observed across the district. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest the schools have the potential to provide more individualized attention and support to students, which does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes based on the available data.
Overall, the data suggests the schools in the 11901 zip code face significant challenges in terms of student performance and district-level support. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the local community. While Riverhead Senior High School and Pulaski Street Elementary School show some relative strengths, the district as a whole has room for improvement to better serve the students in this area.
