Best Public Schools in Hermon, NY

Summary:

The city of Hermon, New York is home to two schools: Edwards-Knox Elementary School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Edwards-Knox Central School District. While the junior-senior high school is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 20% of New York high schools, the elementary school is struggling, with low proficiency rates and a poor statewide ranking.

The data reveals that the junior-senior high school has a strong academic record, with an 84.3% four-year graduation rate, a low 4.9% dropout rate, and high proficiency rates on Regents exams and state assessments. In contrast, the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past three years and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the elementary level.

The stark contrast in school performance highlights the need for continuous improvement and evaluation of educational strategies within the district. While the junior-senior high school's success is commendable, the elementary school's declining ranking is a concern that warrants further investigation and intervention. Opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing between the two schools could help improve the performance of the struggling elementary school and provide more equitable and effective education for all students in the Hermon community.
