Students from other districts
[edit | edit source]Graduates of Woodhull School (PK-6) of the Fire Island School District can attend Islip secondary schools, Islip High included.[4]
Before the Hauppauge Union Free School District opened Hauppauge High School, many students in the district attended Islip. The rest of the students attended Smithtown High School of the Smithtown Central School District. The dividing line was likely the line between the Town of Islip and the Town of Smithtown.[5]
For many years students in the East Islip School District also went to Islip. When the district opened their 'junior school' for students grades 9 and 10, students wishing to continue their education went to Islip for their final two years of high school. This ended when East Islip opened their first building that served students grades 11 and 12 in 1925.[6]
