Summary:
The 11701 zip code area in Amityville, New York is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Amityville Union Free School District. While the district has a mix of elementary, middle, and high schools, the data reveals some concerning trends, with most schools performing well below state averages across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
The Amityville Memorial High School has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and a high 4.5% dropout rate. The school also struggles with a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate. Across the district, test scores on Regents and state assessments are significantly lower than state averages, with the district average proficiency in Algebra I at 49.6% compared to 56.07% statewide. The Edmund W Miles Middle School stands out as a particular area of concern, ranking in the bottom 5% of New York middle schools with only 18-37% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math.
One bright spot is the Northeast School, a small elementary school with the highest per-student spending at $49,576 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 6.4. However, the high spending at this school raises questions about the district's resource allocation and whether funds are being directed effectively to support student outcomes across the board. Overall, the data suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational opportunities for students in the Amityville Union Free School District.
