It is composed of the villages and hamlets of the entirety of Patchogue and parts of Medford, East Patchogue, North Patchogue, and Holtsville, New York.

The total student population as of 2006–2007 was approximately 8,700 students, and 7,463 in 2023-2024. Suburban growth starting in the 1950s led to a student population peak in the 1970s of about 11,000 students, which later dropped to a low of 7,000 before rising again.
