Summary:
The 11955 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, William Floyd Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the William Floyd Union Free School District. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average, with fluctuating statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates that trail the state in key subject areas.
William Floyd Middle School's statewide ranking has ranged from 1,117 out of 1,500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1,004 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, earning it 1- and 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with the 6th grade ELA proficiency rate at 47.68% compared to the state average of 50.86% in 2024-2025. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and smaller class sizes, the school has struggled to improve its educational outcomes.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.73% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. While the school has shown some signs of improvement in its statewide ranking, more significant and sustained progress will be necessary to bring its metrics closer to state averages and better serve its students.
