Summary:

The 11758 zip code area is home to 10 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Massapequa Union Free School District and Plainedge Union Free School District. The standout schools in the area are Massapequa High School, ranked 48th out of 1,234 high schools in New York, and Berner Middle School, ranked 166th out of 1,500 middle schools in the state.

While the secondary schools in the area perform exceptionally well, with high graduation rates and strong test scores, the elementary schools show more variation in their results. Lockhart Elementary School and Albany Avenue Elementary School stand out as top performers, but other elementary schools like Fairfield Elementary School and Eastplain School have more mixed results. This suggests the districts may have room for improvement in ensuring consistent elementary school outcomes.

Across the schools, there are notable differences in spending per student, ranging from $25,659 at Eastplain School to $36,517 at Albany Avenue Elementary School. Additionally, the area has relatively low rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population. However, the schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level, which is an area the districts may want to focus on improving.
