Middle Schools in Central Islip Union Free School District

Summary:

The Central Islip Union Free School District in New York has only one middle school, Ralph Reed School, which serves grades 6-8. The district as a whole is one of the lower-performing districts in the state, ranking 804 out of 874.

Ralph Reed School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of middle schools in New York state over the past three school years, with a ranking of 1403 out of 1500 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science. However, the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 97-100% proficiency rates in Earth Science and Algebra I, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The school has a high percentage of students (67.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's high spending of $29,156 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's overall academic performance remains low. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its resources to better support student learning and address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population.
