Summary:
The Newburgh City School District in New York serves 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 728 out of 865 in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.
A few schools in the district stand out as performing better than others, including Meadow Hill School, a K-8 magnet school that ranks 1208 out of 2445 elementary schools in New York and has a 3-star rating, as well as Fostertown School, another high-performing elementary magnet school that excels in Math and Science proficiency. Additionally, Vails Gate Steam Academy has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating over the past few years.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and concerning chronic absenteeism at Newburgh Free Academy, the district's only high school. Additionally, the district's students perform significantly below the state averages on Regents and state assessments, and a high percentage of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Newburgh City School District.
