Summary:

Southampton High School is a public high school serving 595 students in grades 9-12 in the Southampton Union Free School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Regents/Common Core exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Chemistry, and English Language Arts. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and uneven performance across different student subgroups.

Southampton High School's test scores are strong compared to the state average, with proficiency rates of 97.4% in Algebra II, 70.59% in Chemistry, and 81.5% in English Language Arts, all exceeding the statewide averages. The school also performs well for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and White students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students. Unfortunately, the school struggles with its performance for African American, Hispanic, Native American, and low-income students, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of New York high schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, despite spending significantly more per student ($32,187) compared to nearby schools like Riverhead Senior High School ($17,492) and East Hampton High School ($18,802), Southampton High School's overall statewide ranking is only in the middle of the pack. In comparison, Westhampton Beach Senior High School and Mattituck Junior-Senior High School, both located within 15 miles, consistently outperform Southampton High School on test scores and statewide rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
