Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11951


Summary:

The 11951 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the William Floyd Union Free School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, William Floyd High School stands out as a relative bright spot, outperforming the district and state averages on several key metrics.

William Floyd High School boasts an 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.9% dropout rate, both better than the district and state averages. The school also outperformed on several Regents exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, Physics, and U.S. History and Government. In contrast, William Paca Middle School and Tangier Smith Elementary School both rank in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in the state, with low proficiency rates on state assessments.

Despite the high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios across the district, the stark differences in performance between the high school and the lower grade levels suggest potential issues with resource allocation and utilization. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at all three schools indicate significant socioeconomic challenges facing the student population, which may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles observed, particularly at the middle and elementary school levels.
