Summary

Lynbrook South Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Lynbrook Union Free School District, with 375 students. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic achievement, with high proficiency rates on the NY State Assessments and Regents exams.

Lynbrook South Middle School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 74.07% proficiency in 6th grade ELA compared to 69.44% for the district and 50.86% for the state in 2024-2025. The school also excels in Regents exam performance, with 100% proficiency rates in Earth Science, Living Environment, and Algebra I. While the school's statewide ranking has declined from 107th out of 1,407 NY middle schools in 2014-2015 to 556th out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, it still outperforms nearby schools like Howard T. Herber Middle School and Lynbrook North Middle School in terms of academic proficiency and Regents exam performance.

However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 20% for African American students but only in the top 50% for White students in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has relatively low free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 12.53% to 15.53% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. This suggests the school serves a more affluent student population compared to some nearby schools, such as South Side Middle School in Rockville Centre and Woodmere Middle School in Hewlett-Woodmere, which may have comparable or even higher performance in certain areas.
