Best Public Schools in Putnam Valley, NY

Summary:

The Putnam Valley school district in New York consists of three high-performing schools: Putnam Valley Elementary School, Putnam Valley High School, and Putnam Valley Middle School. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with Putnam Valley Elementary School standing out as a particularly exceptional performer.

Putnam Valley Elementary School has been ranked in the top 10% of elementary schools in New York, earning a 5-star rating in 2021-2022 and 2023-2024. The school's students demonstrate exceptional test scores, with over 69% proficient or better in ELA and over 78% proficient or better in Math, significantly outperforming the state and district averages. Putnam Valley High School also stands out, ranking in the top 30% of high schools in New York and boasting strong performance on Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra II, ELA, and U.S. History.

Across the Putnam Valley Central School District, the schools demonstrate a consistent level of academic excellence, with all three institutions ranking in the top 30% or higher in their respective categories statewide. The district's investment in resources, with higher spending per student at the high school level, may be contributing to the strong academic outcomes. However, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggest that the district may not be serving a highly economically disadvantaged student population, an area that could warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access and support for all students.
