Summary

Islip High School is a public high school in Islip, New York, serving 891 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Islip Union Free School District, which is ranked 580 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Islip High School has consistently performed well on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 88.93% proficiency in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, compared to 75.29% statewide. The school's African American and Hispanic students have also consistently outperformed their peers statewide, with the African American students ranking in the top 5% of New York high schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students have performed well, with rankings in the top 20% and top 15% of New York high schools, respectively, in recent years.

Islip High School's performance is generally stronger than many of the nearby high schools, such as Connetquot High School, which has a lower statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates on Regents exams in several subject areas. However, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.6% to 34.1% in recent years, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address. Overall, Islip High School appears to be a strong-performing school, particularly in academic achievement and student group performance.
