Summary:
The city of Valhalla, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Valhalla High School, Kensico School, Valhalla Middle School, and Blythedale School. These schools are part of the Valhalla Union Free School District and the Mount Pleasant-Blythedale Union Free School District.
Valhalla High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, with consistently high rankings, strong academic proficiency rates, and relatively low dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Valhalla Middle School also shows strong performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Blythedale School, an alternative school, has limited academic performance data available, but its low student-teacher ratio suggests a focus on individualized attention for students.
While the data provides a comprehensive look at the schools in Valhalla, there are some areas that warrant further investigation. The varying levels of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools may indicate potential equity concerns, and the performance of Kensico School and Valhalla Middle School in certain subjects, such as 8th grade science, could be improved. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of the top-performing schools while also identifying opportunities for growth and further analysis.
