Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11953

Summary:

The 11953 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Longwood Central School District, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, and 1 elementary school. While Longwood High School stands out as the strongest performer with higher Regents exam proficiency rates and a better graduation rate, the middle and elementary schools in the district struggle with lower academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

The data reveals that Longwood Junior High School excels in certain subject areas, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, but lags behind the state in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Longwood Middle School and West Middle Island School show lower proficiency rates across the board compared to the state averages. This suggests potential areas for improvement in the middle school curriculum and instructional practices.

The schools in the 11953 zip code area serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges observed, particularly in the middle and elementary schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources invested, indicating a need for further investigation into the district's resource allocation and strategies to support student achievement.
