Academically, the two schools demonstrate exceptional performance, with both reporting very high proficiency rates on Regents exams across various subject areas, often exceeding district and state averages by significant margins. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Smithtown High School East had a 94.52% proficiency rate on the Regents Common Core English Language Arts exam, compared to 95.13% for the district and 75.29% statewide.

While both schools are high-performing, there are some differences in resource allocation. Smithtown High School-West has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10:1, compared to 11.6:1 at Smithtown High School East, and a higher per-student spending of $36,250 versus $33,309 at Smithtown High School East. These differences in resources may contribute to Smithtown High School-West's higher state ranking. However, both schools serve a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting they may serve a more affluent student population compared to the district or state averages.
