Summary:
The city of Greenwich, New York is home to two schools: Greenwich Elementary School and Greenwich Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Greenwich Central School District. While Greenwich Elementary School performs at an average level, Greenwich Junior-Senior High School stands out as a top-performing institution, ranking in the top 12.5% of high schools in New York state.
Greenwich Junior-Senior High School has consistently maintained a high ranking, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's students demonstrate exceptional proficiency on Regents exams, with many subjects seeing over 90% of students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, the school boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the state average, and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%. In contrast, Greenwich Elementary School, while having some strong test scores, particularly in 4th grade ELA and Math, does not perform at the same high level as the junior-senior high school.
The data suggests that the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Greenwich Junior-Senior High School may contribute to its stronger performance compared to the elementary school. However, the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at both schools (over 30%) indicates the need to monitor for potential equity issues and ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
