Summary:
The Croton-Harmon Union Free School District is home to a single standout middle school, Pierre Van Cortlandt School. This school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in New York state, with exceptional academic performance, strong resource allocation, and a relatively affluent student population.
Pierre Van Cortlandt School boasts impressive test scores, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school's Regents exam proficiency rates are also exceptional, with 100% of students proficient in Algebra I and 88.33% proficient in Living Environment. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 likely contributes to its strong academic outcomes.
While the school's overall performance is impressive, the data also highlights the need to consider issues of equity and access. The school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.44%) suggests that the educational opportunities may not be equally available to students from lower-income backgrounds. Nevertheless, Croton-Harmon Union Free School District can be proud of the exceptional education provided by Pierre Van Cortlandt School.
