Best Public Schools in Circleville, NY

Summary:

The city of Circleville, New York is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Circleville Elementary School and Pakanasink Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Circleville Middle School) - all part of the Pine Bush Central School District. While the elementary schools generally perform below district and state averages, Circleville Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school, with 100% proficiency rates on Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I.

Pakanasink Elementary School also shows promise, with the highest proficiency rates in 4th grade ELA and 3rd/4th grade Math among the elementary schools, as well as a strong 5th grade Science proficiency rate. However, Circleville Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates across the board, suggesting potential equity concerns within the district.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic performance of these schools, as they all serve a significant population of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.51% at Circleville Elementary to 63.74% at Pakanasink Elementary. The district may benefit from a closer examination of its resource allocation, teaching practices, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to promote more equitable outcomes across all schools.
