Summary:

The Islip school district in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 5 schools in the area. The district is characterized by a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Maud S Sherwood Elementary School and Islip High School standing out as the strongest performers.

Maud S Sherwood Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the Islip Union Free School District. In contrast, the district as a whole struggles with Math and Science proficiency, an area that could benefit from targeted interventions.

Islip High School also performs well, with students scoring above state averages on Regents exams and the school earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the high school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be contributing to its 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, slightly below the state average. The district's significant per-student spending, well above the state average, suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation to address these areas of concern.
