Best Public Schools in Mount Kisco, NY

Summary:

The city of Mount Kisco, New York has only one public school serving grades PK-5: Mount Kisco Elementary School. This school has a student enrollment of 521 and a predominantly Hispanic student population (78.5%). However, the academic performance of Mount Kisco Elementary School is significantly lower than the Bedford Central School District and the state of New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math well below the district and state averages.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which is lower than the national average, and its high per-student spending of $25,112, Mount Kisco Elementary School struggles academically. This may be attributed to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.79% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The socioeconomic factors faced by the school's student population likely contribute to the academic challenges observed.

To address the significant performance gap between Mount Kisco Elementary School and the broader district and state, targeted interventions and a comprehensive improvement plan would be necessary. This could include implementing evidence-based instructional strategies, providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students, and collaborating with the district to develop a plan that addresses the specific needs of the school and its student population.
