Compared to nearby schools, Sayville Middle School significantly outperforms Oregon Middle School and Saxton Middle School in the Patchogue-Medford and Sachem Central School Districts on state assessments and Regents exams. However, the school may need to focus on improving the performance of its White and Economically Disadvantaged student subgroups to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
