The school year begins September 3, 2026 and ends June 25, 2027.
West Islip’s four elementary schools—Bayview, Manetuck, Oquenock, and Paul J. Bellew—lead to Beach Street or Udall Road Middle School for grades 6–8. Both routes continue to West Islip High School in ninth grade.
At the high school, students can apply to pursue the full International Baccalaureate Diploma or take individual IB courses. The full diploma involves a coordinated program across subjects; the individual-course option lets a student select particular areas of advanced study. Advanced Placement courses are also available.
The district’s fee-supported enrichment program serves resident children in grades K–8, including those attending private or parochial schools. Sessions run in fall, winter/spring, and summer. Children are grouped by age according to enrollment, and families register for the individual offerings.
