Best Public Schools in Fishkill, NY

Summary:

The city of Fishkill, New York is home to three elementary schools: Brinckerhoff Elementary School, Glenham School, and Fishkill Elementary School. These schools serve students in the Wappingers Central School District and the Beacon City School District.

Among the three schools, Brinckerhoff Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in math and science, are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Glenham School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools and having lower proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and student demographics between the three schools. While Glenham School has the highest per-student spending, it also has the lowest academic performance, suggesting that simply spending more money does not necessarily translate to better educational outcomes. Additionally, Brinckerhoff Elementary School serves a more affluent student population, which likely contributes to its stronger academic performance.
