Summary:

The 11040 zip code in New York is home to three high schools: New Hyde Park Memorial High School, Herricks High School, and Mineola High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Sewanhaka Central High School District, Herricks Union Free School District, and Mineola Union Free School District, respectively.

Among the three high schools, Herricks High School stands out as the top performer, ranked 22nd out of 1,234 high schools in New York state for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Mineola High School is the lowest-performing school in the group, ranked 479th out of 1,234 and with a 3-star rating. New Hyde Park Memorial High School also performs well, consistently outperforming the state and district averages on academic measures.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and school characteristics within the 11040 zip code. While all three high schools have similar graduation and dropout rates, the test scores and spending per student vary greatly. Mineola High School spends the most per student but underperforms the state and district averages, particularly in math and science. Factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, appear to play a more significant role in driving student outcomes in this area.
