Summary

Elmont Memorial High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Sewanhaka Central High School District, with 1,473 students located in Elmont, New York. The school has consistently been ranked in the middle tier of New York high schools, receiving 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Elmont Memorial High School demonstrates strengths in supporting underrepresented student populations, with the school ranking highly for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student performance on state assessments. The school has also maintained solid graduation and dropout rates, on par with district and state averages. However, Elmont Memorial faces challenges in improving math and science proficiency, where student performance lags behind state averages. The school has also seen higher chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, an area that could benefit from increased focus.

Compared to nearby schools, Elmont Memorial's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other high schools in the Sewanhaka Central High School District, such as Sewanhaka High School and Floral Park Memorial High School. However, the school lags behind higher-performing schools outside the district, like Valley Stream Central High School and Valley Stream North High School, which have stronger academic outcomes across the board.
