Summary:
The South Huntington Union Free School District in New York operates 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Walt Whitman High School stands out with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance on Regents exams, though its four-year graduation rate is slightly lower than the state average. Henry L. Stimson Middle School also performs well on certain Regents exams, but struggles on state assessments. At the elementary level, Maplewood Intermediate School stands out with better performance on state assessments compared to other elementary schools in the district.
The district's schools generally perform better on Regents exams than on state assessments, particularly in math and science, suggesting that they may be better at preparing students for the specific Regents exams. However, the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor to the lower performance on state assessments. The district's schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support, particularly at the middle school level, to address the specific challenges faced by these schools and improve student outcomes.
