Summary:
The Spackenkill Union Free School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Hagan School and Nassau School. Based on the available data, Hagan School emerges as the standout performer, consistently achieving higher test scores across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade assessments compared to district and state averages.
Hagan School's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 46.49% is significantly higher than the state average of 35%, and the school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years, placing it in the top 689 elementary schools in New York for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Nassau School has lower test scores and a lower SchoolDigger rating, suggesting an opportunity for improvement or further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance.
While Spackenkill Union Free School District spends more per student at Nassau School ($19,365) compared to Hagan School ($17,329), the higher spending does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Additionally, the difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (25.69% at Hagan, 22.07% at Nassau) suggests potential demographic differences in the student populations, which could be an area for further analysis.
