Best Public Schools in Cold Spring Harbor, NY

Summary:

The Cold Spring Harbor school district in New York is home to two schools - Cold Spring Harbor High School and Goosehill Primary Center. The high school stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state and boasting very high proficiency rates on state assessments. In contrast, the elementary school Goosehill Primary Center serves grades K-2 and appears to be a solid school, though it lacks the same level of statewide recognition as the high school.

Cold Spring Harbor High School is a standout, ranked #29 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 4.9% dropout rate. Academically, students excel, with proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams ranging from 85.71% to 99.12%. The school spends a relatively high $32,316 per student, likely contributing to its academic excellence.

While Goosehill Primary Center lacks the same level of statewide recognition, it appears to be a solid elementary school. It has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.5 compared to the high school's 9.5, and spends $21,518 per student, which is typical for an elementary school. However, the data suggests potential equity concerns, as Goosehill has a much lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the high school, indicating the elementary school may serve a more affluent population.
