Summary

East Moriches School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the East Moriches Union Free School District. With 296 students, the school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency and Regents exam performance, ranking among the top 25% of New York middle schools over the past decade.

East Moriches School's academic excellence is evident across multiple metrics. In 2024-2025, 75% of 5th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 56.61%, and 86.05% of 6th graders were proficient in Math, exceeding the state average of 51.2%. The school also boasts 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 92.59% proficiency in Earth Science Regents exams, far surpassing state averages. This strong performance extends across different student subgroups, with female students ranking 266 out of 1,457 New York middle schools and white students ranking 221 out of 775.

While East Moriches School outperforms the state, it also stands out among nearby schools. For example, Westhampton Middle School, just 5.93 miles away, has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to East Moriches. This difference may be attributed to the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more affluent student population, as well as its high per-student spending of around $35,000, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school could potentially improve in 8th grade Science proficiency, which has been consistently lower than other grade levels and the state average.
