St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in West Islip, New York. It is operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre.
Faculty members at St. John’s are required to possess a Master’s Degree, and have New York State Teacher Certification. St. John's student to teacher ratio is approximately 16:1.
All students must wear the official school uniform appropriate for season, grade year, and gender to school. School shoes can be purchased through White Cross and uniforms through Lobel's in Massapequa, NY. If a uniform is worn improperly, a uniform infraction or a detention will be issued. Skorts are worn by the female class body and must be worn at an appropriate length or detentions will be issued by the faculty. Also introduced during the 2007-2008 school year were identification cards. All students and faculty must wear their ID card with an official lanyard around their neck when they enter a building as a safety precaution. If a student forgets their ID cards three times, detention is issued.
The high school features five floors. The first three floors hold all of the classrooms. The fourth floor houses a conference center. St. John's also has a dance studio, large library, newly renovated lecture hall (as of September 2011), new athletic stadium bleachers (as of September 2009). The school contains the newly renovated gymnasium (as of September 2012), cafeteria, and a 1300-seat auditorium.
The basic curriculum includes required courses in Science, Math, Religious Studies, English, Social Studies and Physical Education. French, Italian, or Spanish; Health, Fine Art or Performing Arts and Computer Science. All students graduate with a New York State Regents diploma after successfully completing the Regents examinations and coursework.
A student receives a report card 4 times during the school year, as well as 4 Progress Reports. Final grades for full year courses are determined by calculating 20% for each quarter and then 10% for the midterm/regents exam and 10% for the final/regents exam.
Three levels of classes are offered at St. Johns. Honors, Advanced Placement and regents courses. Also, College credit courses are offered through St. John's affiliates such as St. John's University, Molloy College and the New York Institute of Technology.
