Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11738

Summary:

The 11738 zip code area is home to two schools - Sachem High School East, a high school, and Lynwood Avenue School, an elementary school. While Sachem High School East is a relatively high-performing school ranked in the top 30% of New York high schools, Lynwood Avenue Elementary lags behind, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state's elementary schools.

Sachem High School East stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, strong academic performance, and a 84.3% graduation rate. In contrast, Lynwood Avenue Elementary has a low 1-star rating and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments. This performance gap suggests potential issues with the feeder pattern or broader challenges within the Sachem Central School District.

The disparities in student demographics and funding between the two schools may contribute to the academic differences. Lynwood Avenue Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with a higher free/reduced lunch rate, and receives lower per-student funding compared to Sachem High School East. Addressing these resource gaps and identifying successful practices at the high school could benefit the elementary school.
