Best Public Schools in Mechanicville, NY

Summary:

The city of Mechanicville, New York is home to two schools: Mechanicville Junior/Senior High School and Mechanicville Elementary School, both part of the Mechanicville City School District. While the high school excels in Regents exam performance, the elementary school faces challenges with its overall statewide ranking and high rates of economically disadvantaged students.

Mechanicville Junior/Senior High School stands out for its relatively high performance on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the state average in proficiency rates. The school also shows strong results on the Common Core English Language Arts Regents exam. However, the school struggles with low proficiency rates on 6th-8th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%.

In contrast, Mechanicville Elementary School demonstrates relatively strong performance on the 3rd-5th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with several grades exceeding the state averages. Despite this, the school's overall statewide ranking is in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This may be attributed to the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 51.5%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population.
