The district's schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Santapogue School and West Babylon Junior High School consistently outperforming others in the district.

Santapogue School, an elementary school, ranks in the top 30% of New York elementary schools, with strong test scores, particularly in math, where over 70% of students in grades 3-5 are proficient.

At the high school level, West Babylon Senior High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and seen strong performance on Regents exams, with over 80% proficiency in Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school also faces challenges, with a 4.5% dropout rate and a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024. The district's spending per student varies, ranging from $29,504 at Santapogue School to $36,567 at South Bay School, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic performance.
