Summary

Longwood Junior High School is a public middle school located in Middle Island, New York, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 1,336 students. The school is part of the Longwood Central School District, which is ranked 690 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longwood Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the state and district averages. However, the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state and district. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains a concern.

When compared to nearby schools, Longwood Junior High School's performance challenges appear to be shared by other middle schools in the region, including Longwood Middle School in the same district and Mount Sinai Middle School in a different district. This suggests that the academic struggles may be systemic within the Longwood Central School District, rather than specific to Longwood Junior High School.
