Paul D Schreiber Senior High School, Port Washington NY

Original Research by School Decision on Paul D Schreiber Senior High School

Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School serves the four high school grades in Port Washington, a waterfront hamlet on Nassau County's North Shore. The school sits near the LIRR terminus and downtown, making it integrated into civic life rather than isolated on a distant campus.

The student body is diverse and substantial in size for a high school. About half the enrollment is white, with significant shares of Hispanic and Asian students. A meaningful portion of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting economic variation among families in the district. The school draws from a real estate market where homes command high values and rental costs are steep; housing appreciation has been ongoing, and the area is experiencing active redevelopment with new mixed-use projects along the waterfront and Main Street corridor.

State testing data for the school were not available, a gap that typically reflects either that the school does not administer the state assessments (less common for a regular high school serving grades 9-12) or that results have not been reported for this year. Without this data, no direct read on academic proficiency in math, English language arts, or other tested subjects is possible. A graduation rate, another standard measure of high school performance, was also not available in the data provided. A parent would want to contact the school or district directly to obtain current state assessment results and graduation figures, which are central to understanding academic outcomes. The school's course offerings, academic pathways, honors or AP breadth, and career or dual-credit programs were similarly not detailed in the data on hand.

The district has made visible curriculum changes in recent years. Elementary grades shifted to Science of Reading literacy instruction in response to state law, and adopted iReady mathematics in elementary grades. For secondary math, leadership structure is being reorganized. The district approved a multi-year facilities improvement program funded from a voter-approved capital reserve, directing ongoing investment to electrical and HVAC upgrades districtwide without new debt, a signal of attention to building condition.

When weighed among the other districts in Nassau County, Schreiber's proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile, though this comparison sits atop missing or incomplete data. This positioning alone warrants a conversation with the school about the nature and scope of that gap and what academic supports or interventions are in place.

For families considering this school, the clearest picture comes from location and community context: a high school embedded in a walkable downtown with rail access, serving a diverse peer group from a mixed-income community in active waterfront redevelopment. Specific program breadth, current test results, and graduation data require direct inquiry with the school.

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.
