Best Public Schools in Blauvelt, NY

Summary:

The city of Blauvelt, New York is home to two schools - South Orangetown Middle School and Cottage Lane Elementary School, both part of the South Orangetown Central School District. These schools demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with both excelling in math assessments but struggling with English Language Arts (ELA).

South Orangetown Middle School stands out for its consistently high proficiency rates in Regents exams for Earth Science and Algebra I, significantly outperforming state averages. The school also boasts strong math assessment scores, particularly in 6th and 7th grades, and a relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 20.06%, suggesting a more affluent student population. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 423 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023 to 700 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for more consistent academic performance.

Cottage Lane Elementary School also performs above the state average in math assessments for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and maintains a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 10.5. While the school's spending per student of $21,280 is higher than the state average, it is lower than the $24,836 spent per student at South Orangetown Middle School, raising questions about resource equity within the district. Both schools could benefit from a closer examination of their ELA instruction to improve performance in this area.
