Best Public Schools in Ridge, NY

Summary:

The city of Ridge, New York has only one school, Ridge Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-4 and is part of the Longwood Central School District. While Ridge Elementary's academic performance is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math, it outperforms the district as a whole in these areas, suggesting it may be a relatively strong performer within its district. The school has a diverse student population and appears to have adequate resources, with a low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is the lowest among the district's four elementary schools.

Ridge Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 3 out of 5 stars in 2020-2021 to 2 out of 5 stars in the most recent year. This indicates the school's performance may be inconsistent or facing challenges that impact its overall ranking. However, the school's academic performance relative to the district, as well as its resource allocation, suggest it may have some areas of strength that could be built upon to improve its standing.

Overall, with Ridge Elementary School being the sole school in the city of Ridge, parents in the area have limited options for their children's education. While the school has some positive attributes, such as its diverse student population and resource allocation, its inconsistent performance and below-average academic outcomes compared to the state may be a concern for families.
