Best Public Schools in Fort Montgomery, NY

Summary:

The city of Fort Montgomery, New York is home to two schools: James I O'Neill High School and Fort Montgomery Elementary School, both part of the Highland Falls Central School District. The data reveals that James I O'Neill High School is a standout performer, consistently exceeding state and district averages on Regents/Common Core exams, particularly in English Language Arts and Physics. However, the elementary school serves a student population with a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities between the two schools.

James I O'Neill High School boasts a strong academic record, with high proficiency rates across various exams and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%. The school also maintains a student-teacher ratio of 9.5, indicating a more personalized learning environment. In contrast, Fort Montgomery Elementary School has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 10.9 and spends less per student at $18,037 compared to the high school's $22,506 per student.

While the data highlights the strengths of James I O'Neill High School, it also reveals areas for improvement across the district. The four-year graduation rate at the high school, while reasonable at 84.3%, could be enhanced, and the funding challenges faced by both schools, as evidenced by the high student-teacher ratios, suggest a need for additional resources to support student success. By addressing these areas, the Fort Montgomery school system can continue to build on the academic achievements of its standout schools and provide a well-rounded education for all students in the community.
