Summary:
The Deer Park Union Free School District operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is ranked 462 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Deer Park High School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 388 out of 1,234 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school boasts impressive Regents exam scores, with over 90% proficiency in subjects like Global History and Geography, U.S. History and Government, and Algebra II. Additionally, Deer Park High School maintains a high graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%. In contrast, the district's middle and elementary schools show more mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing well below the state average on the NY State Assessments.
Across the district, the free/reduced lunch rates range from 41.67% to 50.88%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The variation in spending per student, with the high school spending the most at $32,112 and the primary schools spending the least at around $27,500 to $28,700, raises questions about resource allocation within the district. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 10 to 11.3, the data suggests that the district may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for all students.
