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. It has consistently ranked among the top 25% of New York elementary schools, with significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels in both English Language Arts and Math. Brinckerhoff also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 16.32%, compared to 40.06% at Glenham School and 26.24% at Fishkill Elementary School. Despite its strong performance, Brinckerhoff spends the least per student at $14,827, compared to $20,248 at Glenham and $19,189 at Fishkill.

The schools in Fishkill also exhibit varying levels of racial diversity, with Glenham School being the most diverse and Brinckerhoff Elementary School the least diverse. Additionally, student-teacher ratios do not seem to be a key driver of performance, as Brinckerhoff Elementary has a relatively high ratio compared to other schools in its district. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as school leadership, curriculum, and community engagement, may be playing a significant role in the schools' performance.
