Best Public Schools in Elmsford, NY

Summary:

The city of Elmsford, New York is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Alice E Grady Elementary School and Carl L Dixson Elementary School) and one high school (Alexander Hamilton High School) - all part of the Elmsford Union Free School District. While the district as a whole struggles to meet state academic standards, Alice E Grady Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, consistently improving its statewide ranking and outperforming the district and state in key subject areas.

Alexander Hamilton High School has shown some bright spots, with Regents exam scores in certain subjects exceeding the state average. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is relatively low, and its four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and dropout rate of 4.9% suggest room for improvement. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% at the high school could be a key focus area for the district to improve student outcomes.

The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools in the Elmsford Union Free School District suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable access to educational resources. By learning from the practices and strategies employed at the higher-performing Alice E Grady Elementary School and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism, the district can work towards improving student performance across all of its schools.
