Summary:
The Newburgh City School District in New York contains 9 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th. The district as a whole is ranked 728 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the performance of individual schools within the district varies significantly.
The Meadow Hill School stands out as the highest-performing elementary school in the district, ranking 1,208 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. It has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Fostertown School also has strong proficiency rates, outperforming the district and state in both subjects. In contrast, Horizon-On-The-Hudson School and Balmville School struggle with very low proficiency rates.
The data suggests that factors such as student-teacher ratio, spending per student, and free and reduced lunch rates may play a role in the schools' performance. Schools with lower student-teacher ratios, higher spending per student, and lower free and reduced lunch rates tend to have higher proficiency rates. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the lower-performing schools within the Newburgh City School District.
