Summary:
The city of Amenia, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Eugene Brooks Intermediate School, Webutuck Elementary School, and Webutuck High School. These schools, which are part of the Northeast Central School District, have faced challenges in academic performance, with most schools ranking in the bottom quarter of New York schools.
Among the standout schools, Eugene Brooks Intermediate School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools, but has shown some bright spots, with 7th grade ELA and Math proficiency rates exceeding the state average in 2023-2024. Webutuck High School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom 35% of New York high schools, but has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong Regents exam performance in subjects like Algebra II and Global History.
Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions, such as strong 3rd grade Math proficiency at Webutuck Elementary School in 2022-2023. The schools also serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 56.11% to 57.44%. While the overall academic performance is concerning, the data reveals some bright spots that could be leveraged to drive improvement in the district.
