Summary:
The Central Islip Union Free School District in New York operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a community with high levels of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the large percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Within the district, there are significant disparities in academic performance between the schools. Andrew T Morrow School and Francis J O'Neill School stand out as high-performing elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, other elementary schools like Anthony Alfano Elementary School and Cordello Avenue Elementary School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.
At the high school level, Central Islip Senior High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and a lower dropout rate of 4.5% compared to the district and state. However, the school's performance on Regents exams has declined in recent years, and it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to its lower academic performance.
