Best Public Schools in Calverton, NY

Summary:

The city of Calverton, New York is home to two schools: Riverhead Charter School and Riley Avenue School. Riverhead Charter School stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state and Riverhead Central School District averages. Despite serving a diverse student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Riverhead Charter School's academic success is attributed to its low student-teacher ratio and effective teaching practices.

In contrast, Riley Avenue School, which is part of the Riverhead Central School District, appears to be a lower-performing elementary school. Its test scores are significantly below the state averages in both ELA and Math for grades 3 and 4, and the school is ranked in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools. The higher student-teacher ratio at Riley Avenue School may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

The stark contrast between Riverhead Charter School and Riley Avenue School highlights the importance of school choice and the potential impact of charter schools in underperforming districts. While the Riverhead Central School District as a whole is ranked 801 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating, Riverhead Charter School's exceptional performance suggests that it is providing a high-quality education to its students, despite the challenges faced by the broader district.
