Best Public Schools in Hurley, NY

Summary:

The city of Hurley, New York has only one school, the Ernest C Myer School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Kingston City School District. The school has a predominantly white student population (79.31%), with lower representation of other racial groups. While the school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally higher than the district average, it lags behind the state average, particularly in 4th grade.

The Ernest C Myer School spends a relatively high amount per student ($25,173) and has a low student-teacher ratio (9.9), suggesting significant investment in the school. However, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 815th out of 2201 schools in 2020-2021 to 1367th out of 2439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This decline in ranking, along with the lower-than-state-average academic performance, raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the factors contributing to its academic challenges.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.02%) indicates that the Ernest C Myer School serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that while the school is well-resourced, it is struggling to keep up with statewide academic standards and may need to address the underlying factors affecting student achievement.
