Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11955


Summary:

The 11955 zip code area is home to two schools - William Floyd Middle School and Moriches Elementary School, both part of the William Floyd Union Free School District. While the schools receive relatively high per-student funding and have small student-teacher ratios, they are performing below state averages in many academic areas, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.

William Floyd Middle School has a low statewide ranking, ranking between 1004-1117 out of 1500 New York middle schools. However, the school performs better on Regents exams like Algebra I and Living Environment compared to the district and state. In contrast, Moriches Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking as well, ranking between 1260-1454 out of 2439-2445 New York elementary schools. The elementary school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below.

Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may be a contributing factor to the schools' lower academic performance. Despite the significant resources invested in these schools, the data suggests that the district as a whole is struggling to meet academic standards and provide consistent, high-quality education across all grade levels.
