Best Public Schools in Purchase, NY


Summary:

The city of Purchase, New York is home to a single elementary school, Purchase School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Harrison Central School District. Purchase School is a standout institution, ranking in the top 10% of New York elementary schools and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Academically, Purchase School outperforms both the district and state averages, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school's student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5 is also better than other elementary schools in the district. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which may indicate a lack of diversity that could be further investigated.

Purchase School's higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages suggests that the school has access to more resources and funding, which likely contributes to its academic success. While the school is a standout performer within the Harrison Central School District, it would be valuable to compare its performance and characteristics to other high-performing schools in the district to identify any unique factors or best practices that could be replicated elsewhere.
