Maud S Sherwood Elementary School consistently outperforms the Islip Union Free School District and the state of New York in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

While Maud S Sherwood Elementary School outperforms the Islip Union Free School District, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as John F. Kennedy Elementary School and Ruth C.
