Best Public Schools in Melville, NY


Summary:

The city of Melville, New York is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Birchwood Intermediate School and Sunquam Elementary School) and 1 middle school (West Hollow Middle School). The data reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools in the area, with clear differences in academic achievement, resource allocation, and student demographics.

West Hollow Middle School and Sunquam Elementary School stand out as the top-performing schools, consistently ranking in the top 20% of their respective categories in New York state. Both schools outperform the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency, with particularly strong results in 8th grade ELA and 7th grade Math at West Hollow Middle, and 5th grade ELA and Math at Sunquam Elementary. In contrast, Birchwood Intermediate School lags behind the district and state in academic performance.

The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the schools may contribute to the performance gap. West Hollow Middle School and Sunquam Elementary School, which are part of the Half Hollow Hills Central School District, have higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to Birchwood Intermediate School, which is in the South Huntington Union Free School District. This suggests that resource allocation may play a role in the observed performance differences.
