Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11717

Summary:

The 11717 zip code area of Brentwood, New York is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with wide performance gaps compared to state averages and high poverty rates among the student population.

Some schools stand out in the district, such as East Middle School, which has the highest proficiency rates on Regents exams compared to the district and state. North Middle School also has the highest proficiency rates on the 8th grade NY State Assessments for Math and Science. At the elementary level, Twin Pines Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates on the 3rd-5th grade NY State Assessments for both ELA and Math.

However, the Brentwood Union Free School District as a whole faces significant challenges. Graduation rates at Brentwood High School are below the state average, and the district has high rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that poverty is a major obstacle. Addressing these issues and supporting students from low-income backgrounds will be crucial for improving academic performance across the district.
