Best Public Schools in Suffern, NY

Summary:

The city of Suffern, New York is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in the Suffern Central School District generally perform well, with Suffern Senior High School ranking 398 out of 1,242 New York high schools and consistently high performance on Regents exams. In contrast, the schools in the East Ramapo Central School District, such as Lime Kiln Elementary School, struggle with state assessments and have significantly lower performance.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two school districts. The Suffern Central School District schools generally have higher graduation rates, better test scores, and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the East Ramapo Central School District. This suggests a potential link between resource allocation and student achievement, as the Suffern schools spend significantly more per student and have lower student-teacher ratios.

While the Suffern Senior High School and elementary schools in the Suffern Central School District perform relatively well, the middle schools in both districts struggle, with lower rankings and proficiency rates compared to the other school levels. This underperformance of middle schools is an area that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success across all grade levels in the Suffern area.
