Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11568

Summary:

The 11568 zip code area is home to two high schools: Westbury High School and Wheatley School. While both schools serve students in the same geographic area, the data analysis reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and overall school quality.

Wheatley School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 5% of high schools in New York state. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with proficiency rates well above state and district averages on Regents exams and 8th grade state assessments. In contrast, Westbury High School appears to be a lower-performing school, with a ranking in the bottom 40% of high schools in the state and proficiency rates that generally lag behind state and district averages.

The differences in school performance may be attributed to factors such as school spending and student-teacher ratios. Wheatley School spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, which could enable more personalized instruction and support for students. Both schools, however, share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The stark contrast in school performance within the same zip code area highlights the need for further investigation and potential interventions to address the challenges faced by Westbury High School.
