Woodhull Intermediate School, Huntington NY

Original Research by School Decision on Woodhull Intermediate School

Woodhull Intermediate School serves grades four through six in Huntington, a mixed suburban town on Long Island with a walkable village downtown and a broader car-oriented setting. The school draws students from two primary-school zones: Southdown and Jefferson, and is part of the Huntington Union Free School District, which recently reorganized its intermediate schools effective fall of the 2026-27 school year. This assignment is meaningful; families should note that Woodhull's zone and building assignments are now defined by this structural change.

The school enrolls a student body with a substantial share of families receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting economic diversity in the area. The student population is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller shares of white and other students. A small share identify as Asian, Black, or multiracial. The enrollment is distributed across three grades, with roughly similar numbers in each.

Proficiency on New York State testing in 2024-25 shows mixed results across subjects and grades. In math, sixth graders performed strongest, with a little more than half meeting state standards. Fourth and fifth graders came in closer to the midpoint or slightly above. English language arts results follow a similar arc: fourth graders were around the lower-midpoint range, while fifth and sixth graders both reached the midpoint or just above. Science testing (fifth grade only) showed proficiency below the midpoint. Overall, Woodhull's proficiency index sits below the midpoint when compared to other districts in Suffolk County. This positioning suggests students are working on foundational skills, and a parent may want to look into further detail with the school about supports for learners falling below proficiency and how the school approaches skill building across grade levels.

The school's local housing market reflects typical Long Island suburban conditions. Home values in the area are substantial, and rental costs are elevated relative to national norms, making affordability a genuine consideration for families. Huntington Station, the commercial and transit hub nearest the school, has been designated for revitalization funding and is seeing mixed-use development and transit-oriented housing projects, though the broader town's residential character remains mostly single-family homes.

The district has implemented a state-mandated policy restricting student cell phone use throughout the school day, effective for the 2025-26 year. The district also made changes to high school math sequencing and introduced college-credit opportunities in statistics and computer science starting in 2025-26, signaling a focus on expanding post-secondary pathways at the secondary level. The immediate school does not report special-education or English-learner enrollment counts; these data are available directly from the school.

Woodhull is a traditional neighborhood school serving a diverse community with economic need. Its test results reflect a student population working toward proficiency, consistent with many similar schools serving economically diverse areas. A parent evaluating Woodhull would benefit from a conversation with the school about instructional approaches, intervention programs, and how the school supports students at different skill levels as they progress through the intermediate grades.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
