Summary

Joseph A Edgar Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Rocky Point Union Free School District in New York. With 569 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across grades 3-5 over the past few years.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were 40% for 3rd grade, 52.94% for 4th grade, and 34.38% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% respectively. Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rates were 35.09% for 3rd grade, 51.11% for 4th grade, and 48.94% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 59.7%, 58.64%, and 54.16% respectively. This significant underperformance has led to the school being ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 over the past 10 years.

Interestingly, the nearby Wading River School, which serves grades 3-5 in the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District, has significantly higher performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 57.5% to 69.81% in ELA and 65% to 69.09% in Math. This suggests that the academic performance of Joseph A Edgar Intermediate School may be influenced by factors beyond just the school itself, such as the overall quality of the district and the resources available to support student learning.
