Summary:

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Patchogue-Medford High School has the highest enrollment with 2,453 students and consistently ranks in the top 500 high schools in New York, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary schools of Barton and Tremont have the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math among the district's elementary schools, with higher SchoolDigger ratings than the district average. Additionally, River Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and higher than average proficiency rates in Math.

However, the district also faces some challenges. The middle schools, particularly Oregon Middle School and Saxton Middle School, have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the elementary schools and state averages. Additionally, Patchogue-Medford High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be contributing to its lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates.
