Rocky Point Union Free School District (Rocky Point UFSD or RPUFSD) is a public K-12 school district organized under New York State Education Law and located in Rocky Point, Suffolk County, Long Island. It serves resident students from kindergarten through 12th grade across four schools: Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School (K-2), Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School (grades 3-5), Rocky Point Middle School (grades 6-8), and Rocky Point High School (grades 9-12). The Class of 2026 had 201 graduates, and the Rocky Point Teachers Association Local 2960 represents more than 250 instructional staff members.

The district's core product is a comprehensive K-12 education offering that includes core academics, Advanced Placement courses, a Cosmetology career-technical program established in 2004, a five-unit visual arts sequence, special education services, athletics, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. Its technology stack is built on standard K-12 ed-tooling: Google Apps and Microsoft 365 for identity, Clever as a single sign-on portal, eSchoolData and the eSchool Parent Portal for student information, ParentSquare for district-wide family communication, IXL for adaptive learning, GoGuardian for classroom management, Follett Destiny for library services, Naviance for college and career readiness, and Method Test Prep for SAT/ACT preparation. The district is executing a 2023-2028 Strategic Plan and is investing in classroom technology through New York State's Smart Schools Bond Act.

As a government entity, Rocky Point UFSD does not generate commercial revenue. Its operating model is funded by local property taxes, New York State education aid (foundation aid and categorical aid), and federal grants including Title I, IDEA, and American Rescue Plan funds. K-12 education is provided free of charge to district residents, with limited fee-based optional programs such as Summer Drivers Education. The district distributes services directly through its four school buildings, communicates with families via ParentSquare and the rockypointufsd.org website, and is supported by an ecosystem of community organizations including the Rocky Point PTA, the Athletic Booster Club, Friends of Music, the Retirees Association, and a Business/Community Partnerships program with 15+ local and national businesses.
