Summary:

The 11746 zip code area is home to 5 middle schools serving grades 6-8, with a mix of high-performing and lower-performing institutions. Commack Middle School and Candlewood Middle School stand out as top-performing schools, consistently exceeding state and district averages on standardized tests, while Henry L Stimson Middle School and Silas Wood 6th Grade Center lag behind.

Commack Middle School and Candlewood Middle School have proficiency rates over 60% in ELA and Math, placing them in the top 25% and 15% of middle schools in New York, respectively. In contrast, the other schools in the area struggle to meet state standards, with proficiency rates often below the district and state averages. The Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School also shows promise, with strong performance on 4th-6th grade assessments despite not being ranked on SchoolDigger.

The performance gap between the top-performing and lower-performing schools is significant, with a difference of over 30 percentage points in some state assessment proficiency rates. This disparity may be influenced by factors such as district resources, as the higher-performing schools are located in the Commack Union Free School District and Half Hollow Hills Central School District, which are ranked in the top 25% of districts in New York, while the lower-performing schools are in the South Huntington Union Free School District and Huntington Union Free School District, which are ranked in the bottom 25%.
