SILAS WOOD 6TH GRADE CENTER

SILAS WOOD 6TH GRADE CENTER is a Title I public middle school that is part of the SOUTH HUNTINGTON UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in HUNTINGTON STATION, NY with about 490 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 41 teachers, SILAS WOOD 6TH GRADE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The SILAS WOOD 6TH GRADE CENTER, located at 23 Harding Place in Huntington Station, New York, serves as a dedicated transitional academic environment within the South Huntington Union Free School District. By focusing exclusively on the sixth-grade population, the school provides a specialized bridge between the elementary school experience and the more departmentalized structure of middle school. This unique configuration allows the faculty to tailor their instructional strategies, social-emotional support, and extracurricular programming specifically to the developmental needs of 11- and 12-year-old students.

As part of the broader South Huntington school system, Silas Wood emphasizes a commitment to rigorous academic standards and student engagement. The school’s curriculum is designed to foster both intellectual growth and personal responsibility, helping students develop the organizational and study skills necessary for their subsequent years in secondary education.
