Summary:
The Brentwood Union Free School District in New York operates 17 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative high school. The district as a whole is ranked 811 out of 874 in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance across the schools.
A few schools stand out in the district: Brentwood High School Freshman Campus, an alternative high school with strong Regents exam performance but high chronic absenteeism; East Middle School, which has the highest Regents proficiency rates among the middle schools but lower state assessment scores; and Hemlock Elementary School, which has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments in the district. However, the district as a whole lags behind state averages on most academic measures, with significant disparities in performance between the schools.
Across the Brentwood Union Free School District, there are high rates of economic disadvantage, with all schools having free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 76.7% to 91.42%. This likely contributes to the overall lower academic performance compared to the state. Additionally, the district faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, particularly at the high school level, and uneven distribution of resources, as evidenced by the variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools.
