Summary:

The 11758 zip code in New York is home to two high schools: Massapequa High School and Plainedge Senior High School. Based on the available data, Massapequa High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking in the top 5% of New York high schools over the past three years.

Massapequa High School boasts higher proficiency rates across nearly all Regents exam subjects compared to state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Massapequa had a 96.72% proficiency rate in Common Core English Language Arts, significantly higher than the 75.29% statewide average. Additionally, Massapequa spends more per student ($32,773) than Plainedge ($33,837), despite having a lower student-teacher ratio (10.4 vs 12.3), suggesting they are able to allocate resources more effectively.

In contrast, Plainedge Senior High School struggles more on exams like Geometry, Earth Science, and Physics compared to state averages. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of over 31% in the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average, which likely contributes to their relatively lower graduation rates compared to the state. The differences in free/reduced lunch percentages between the two schools (9.94% at Massapequa and 16.06% at Plainedge) suggest Massapequa serves a more affluent student population, which is often correlated with better academic outcomes.
