Summary

Charles A Mulligan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 963 students in grades K-6 in the Central Islip Union Free School District in New York. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 27.46% to 35.9% in ELA and 29.05% to 45.67% in Math, while the state averages were 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math.

The school's performance on the state assessments varies significantly by student subgroup, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, while English Language Learners and Special Education students perform worse. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $27,842 per student, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Charles A Mulligan Elementary School to nearby schools within the Central Islip Union Free School District, such as Anthony Alfano Elementary School, Cordello Avenue Elementary School, Francis J O'Neill School, and Marguerite L Mulvey School, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced when looking at schools in the neighboring Brentwood Union Free School District and East Islip Union Free School District, such as Northeast Elementary School, Southeast Elementary School, and Ruth C Kinney Elementary School.
