Summary:
The 11722 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Ralph Reed School, which serves grades 7-8 and is part of the Central Islip Union Free School District. While the school has a relatively high spending per student of $29,156, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the statewide averages in English Language Arts and Math for both 7th and 8th grades.
Ralph Reed School's 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate is 23.33%, compared to the statewide average of 50.99%, and its 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate is 25%, compared to the statewide average of 52.38%. In Math, the 7th-grade proficiency rate is 28.64%, compared to the statewide average of 56.47%, and the 8th-grade proficiency rate is 22.94%, compared to the statewide average of 46.74%. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate is also low at 24.51%, compared to the statewide average of 43.5%.
Despite the school's low academic performance on state assessments, its Regents exam proficiency rates are much higher than the statewide averages, with 97.18% proficient or better in Earth Science (compared to 65.07% statewide) and 100% proficient or better in Algebra I (compared to 56.07% statewide). However, this strong Regents performance may not be enough to offset the overall academic struggles, as the school is ranked 1,403 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and the Central Islip Union Free School District is ranked 804 out of 874 school districts in the state.
