Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11953

Summary:

The 11953 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Longwood Central School District, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, and 1 elementary school. While the district's overall performance is mixed, Longwood High School stands out as the strongest performer, with high graduation rates, strong Regents exam scores, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The two middle schools, Longwood Junior High School and Longwood Middle School, struggle more with state assessment proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, suggesting a need for targeted interventions at the middle school level. Meanwhile, West Middle Island School, the district's elementary school, also performs below state averages on these assessments.

Across the district, a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. While the district spends more per student and has relatively low student-teacher ratios, the uneven academic performance and persistent equity concerns warrant further investigation and targeted support to ensure all students in the 11953 zip code area receive a high-quality education.
