Summary:
The 11944 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Greenport High School and Greenport Elementary School, both part of the Greenport Union Free School District. While the schools serve different grade levels, they face similar challenges, with both underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics such as academic proficiency, graduation rates, and dropout rates.
Greenport High School has a four-year graduation rate of 75.4%, which is lower than the state average, and a dropout rate of 7.0%, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions like Global History and Geography. Greenport Elementary School, on the other hand, has seen a concerning decline in its performance on state assessments, with its statewide ranking dropping from 932 out of 2,201 in 2020-2021 to 2,237 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023.
Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 60% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios than the state average, the schools' academic performance suggests that funding and resources alone may not be the primary drivers of success. The racial demographic differences between the two schools, with Greenport High School having a higher percentage of White students and Greenport Elementary School having a higher percentage of Hispanic students, also highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps in the area.
