Summary:
The Huntington Station, New York area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students. While some schools, like Washington School, demonstrate strong academic performance, others, like Henry L Stimson Middle School, are struggling to meet state standards.
The standout schools in the area include Walt Whitman High School, which has the highest enrollment and a relatively high graduation rate, and Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School, which boasts the best student-to-teacher ratio and strong academic performance in English Language Arts. Washington School also stands out for its exceptional performance in both English Language Arts and Math, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest that addressing these disparities and supporting economically disadvantaged students should be a priority for the Huntington Union Free School District and the South Huntington Union Free School District. Additionally, the declining state-wide ranking of Walt Whitman High School warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors and implement strategies for improvement.
