The South Country Central School District is a district of approximately 16 square miles (41 km2) located in southern Brookhaven Town, Suffolk County, New York, United States. It is composed of the Village of Bellport, the Hamlets of Brookhaven, North Bellport, and East Patchogue, and parts of Yaphank, and Medford.
[edit] Background
The district maintains Bellport High School, Bellport Middle School, Frank P. Long School, and three primary schools. In addition, the district maintains a building named the Southaven School, which briefly housed the Southaven Academy, an alternative high school for challenged students. The Administrative Offices are located in East Patchogue on the campus of the Verne Critz Primary School. The school district maintains a budget of 110 million dollars, with a little more than half coming from local property taxes.[citation needed]
The teachers of the district have increased test scores over the past few years through programs designed to help students. Also, the controversial five million dollar budget deficit has been replaced by a $418,000 surplus thanks to the diligent work of administration and decreased spending by the schools.[citation needed]
The current superintendent of schools is Joe Cipp Jr. who leads a dedicated and structured teaching force committed to improving education, state scores, and the quality of the whole learning experience.
