Summary:
The Connetquot Central School District in New York is home to two middle schools: Ronkonkoma Middle School and Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School. Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Ronkonkoma Middle School standing out for its exceptional proficiency rates in Regents exams, particularly in Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences.
However, Ronkonkoma Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 438 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023 to 998 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. In contrast, Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School has maintained a relatively stable ranking, going from 355 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023 to 622 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 3-star SchoolDigger rating.
The two schools also differ in their socioeconomic factors, with Ronkonkoma Middle School having a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (39.91%) compared to Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School (24.74%) in 2023-2024. Additionally, Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School has a higher per-student spending of $44,096, while Ronkonkoma Middle School has a lower per-student spending of $34,994 in the same year. These differences may contribute to the observed performance trends and warrant further investigation to identify opportunities for improvement across the Connetquot Central School District.
