Summary:

The Wallkill, New York school district consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students across the schools.

Wallkill Senior High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school excels in advanced courses, with students demonstrating exceptional proficiency in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district show more uneven performance, with Leptondale Elementary School struggling to meet state and district averages in many areas.

The Wallkill Central School District faces some challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism at the high school and significant socioeconomic disparities, as evidenced by the large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the district also has pockets of excellence, such as the strong performance of Ostrander Elementary School in English Language Arts and Math. By addressing equity and access issues, as well as targeting areas of academic weakness, the district could work to improve outcomes for all students.
