Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11719

The 11719 zip code area is home to two schools - Bellport Senior High School, the only high school in the area, and Brookhaven Elementary School, the sole elementary school. These schools serve a total of 1,903 students and are part of the South Country Central School District, which is ranked 808 out of 874 school districts in New York and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Bellport Senior High School has a relatively large enrollment of 1,382 students, but its performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subject areas performing below the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is lower than the state average. In contrast, Brookhaven Elementary School, a public magnet school serving grades PK-3, has an enrollment of 521 students and its performance on 3rd-grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is below the state average, though slightly better than the district average.

Both schools have a high percentage of students (over 50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the 11719 zip code area. The data suggests a disparity in academic performance between the high school and elementary school, and the low district ranking and 0-star rating for the South Country Central School District suggest potential challenges in resource allocation and overall educational quality for the schools in this area.
