Summary:
The city of Sag Harbor, New York is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Pierson Middle/High School and Sag Harbor Elementary School. These schools are part of the Sag Harbor Union Free School District, which has demonstrated strong academic performance well above the state average.
Pierson Middle/High School stands out as a particularly strong performer, consistently outpacing the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. The school boasts a 91% four-year graduation rate, higher than the state average, and has been ranked among the top 20% of high schools in New York for the past three years. With a low student-teacher ratio of 7.4, Pierson Middle/High School provides a high level of individual attention to its students.
While both schools serve a majority white student population, they also have significant Hispanic/Latino representation. The schools spend well above the state average per student, indicating a strong investment in education. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Pierson Middle/High School is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance.
