Summary:

The East Islip Union Free School District in New York consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently excel on state assessments and have high graduation rates.

East Islip High School is the district's top-performing school, with students consistently outperforming the state average on Regents exams, and a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate. East Islip Middle School also stands out, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and Algebra I on state assessments, and high per-student spending. Among the elementary schools, Timber Point Elementary is noteworthy for its historically strong performance and relatively low free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a more affluent student population.

While the district overall performs well, there is some variation in elementary school performance, with some grades and subjects outperforming the district and state averages, while others lag behind. Additionally, East Islip Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 414 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023 to 740 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, suggesting a potential area for improvement. The district's high per-student spending, ranging from $28,213 to $36,758, does not always translate to the best overall performance, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play in student achievement.
