Summary:
The 11778 zip code in New York is home to 4 schools that are part of the Rocky Point Union Free School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While Rocky Point High School stands out as a strong performer, with high proficiency rates on Regents exams, the middle and elementary schools in the district appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on the New York State Assessments.
The data shows that Rocky Point High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the state average, though its dropout rate of 4.5% is slightly higher than desired. In contrast, the proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math at the 3rd-8th grade levels at Rocky Point Middle School and the two Joseph A Edgar Intermediate School and Frank J Carasiti Elementary School are often 10-20 percentage points below the state averages.
The schools in the 11778 zip code have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.2 to 12.1, and spend between $34,550 and $36,452 per student, which is above the state average. However, the free/reduced lunch rates across the schools, ranging from 31.5% to 37.2%, indicate a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This suggests that addressing the disparities in academic achievement and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be key priorities for the district moving forward.
