Patchogue-Medford School District is a public school district that covers approximately 15.5 square miles (40 km2) in the southern part of the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, United States.

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

The total student population as of 2006–2007 was approximately 8,700 students.[1]

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 to the current level.[2]
