Summary:

The 11792 zip code area in New York is home to two schools: Wading River School, an elementary school, and Little Flower School, an alternative school. Wading River School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently scoring above the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 57.5% to 69.81% across different grade levels.

Wading River School is ranked in the top 867 out of 2,445 elementary schools in New York state for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. In contrast, Little Flower School is an alternative school that serves a smaller student population of 101 students across grades 3-12 and has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 5.6, but it spends significantly more per student at $85,852, likely due to the specialized services and resources required for its alternative school model.

The Shoreham-Wading River Central School District and the Little Flower Union Free School District oversee the schools in the 11792 zip code area. While Wading River School's strong academic performance and efficient use of resources make it a standout option, the specialized services and smaller class sizes at Little Flower School may be better suited for students who require a more tailored educational approach.
