Summary

Marguerite L Mulvey School is an elementary school located in Central Islip, New York, serving 532 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Central Islip Union Free School District, which is ranked 804 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Marguerite L Mulvey School struggles, with proficiency rates significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 20%, compared to 54.15% statewide and 32.18% for the district. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities all performing poorly. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.45% to 85.74%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be a significant contributor to the academic challenges.

Interestingly, Marguerite L Mulvey School is located in close proximity to several other low-performing elementary schools within the Central Islip Union Free School District, such as Andrew T Morrow School and Charles A Mulligan Elementary School. In contrast, the school is relatively close to higher-performing elementary schools in other districts, such as Bretton Woods Elementary School in the Hauppauge Union Free School District, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of New York elementary schools.
