Summary:
The Islip Union Free School District in New York is home to a single high school, Islip High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools, with a statewide ranking of 409 out of 1,234 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
Islip High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with graduation rates and Regents exam proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in several key subjects, including English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school's performance is more uneven in other subjects, such as Regents/Geometry and Regents/Physics, where proficiency rates fall below the state average. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% in 2023-2024, suggesting a need to focus on improving student engagement and attendance.
Despite these areas for improvement, Islip High School appears to be a strong-performing school within its district and the state, with a student population of 891 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1. The school's per-student spending of $31,117 is higher than the state average, and it serves a student population with a moderate level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 38.95%. Overall, Islip High School's consistent ranking and rating over the past few years demonstrate a stable level of performance, with both strengths and opportunities for growth.
