Summary:

The 11968 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Southampton Union Free School District or the Tuckahoe Common School District.

Tuckahoe School, a PK-8 school, stands out with consistently strong performance on state assessments, with many grade levels exceeding the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, 76.47% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 56.61% statewide. The school also had 100% proficiency rates on Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I. While Southampton High School is not the highest performer overall, it has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and low dropout rate of 4.5%, as well as strong performance on certain Regents exams, such as 95.18% proficiency in Algebra II and 80.67% in ELA.

The schools in the 11968 zip code area serve economically disadvantaged populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 47.53% at Southampton Elementary to 55.69% at Tuckahoe School. Despite these challenges, the districts are investing in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 6.5 to 8.5. Spending per student also varies widely, from $47,985 at Southampton Elementary to $68,146 at Tuckahoe School, and it would be interesting to further analyze how these funding levels relate to the schools' academic performance.
