Summary:

The Southold Union Free School District in New York operates two schools - Southold Junior-Senior High School and Southold Elementary School. The district is ranked 474 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southold Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 40% of New York high schools and has a 3-star rating. The school demonstrates strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in many subjects. However, it struggles with a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%. In contrast, Southold Elementary School is ranked in the top 50% of New York elementary schools and has a 3-star rating. The elementary school performs well on 5th grade science assessments and in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, but lags behind the state averages in 3rd-6th grade math.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Southold Junior-Senior High School at 9:1 and Southold Elementary School at 9.2:1. However, the high school has a significantly higher free/reduced lunch rate of 42.38% compared to the elementary school's 28.85%, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that may require targeted support and resources.
