Best Public Schools in Catskill, NY

Summary:

The city of Catskill, New York is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Catskill Elementary School, Catskill Senior High School, and Catskill Middle School. These schools, part of the Catskill Central School District, serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance and resource levels.

Among the 3 schools, Catskill Senior High School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 407 out of 1,228 New York high schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.6%, though its dropout rate of 9.9% is a concern. In contrast, Catskill Elementary School and Catskill Middle School perform below the state average on ELA and Math proficiency tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.4% to 64.37%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,319 to $21,630, and low student-teacher ratios of 9.7 to 10.5 students per teacher, the Catskill schools continue to struggle academically. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough, and a deeper examination of how those resources are utilized may be necessary. Additionally, the schools serve a diverse student population, with significant representation of minority and economically disadvantaged students, highlighting the importance of addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by these student groups.
