South Orangetown Central School District

The South Orangetown Central School District in New York serves students from four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district's standout school is Tappan Zee High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state and outperforms the district and state averages on most Regents exams.

In contrast, the middle school, South Orangetown Middle School, and the two elementary schools, Cottage Lane Elementary School and William O Schaefer Elementary School, generally perform at or slightly below the state average on the New York State Assessments. This suggests an opportunity for improvement at the lower grade levels.

The district has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the high school level, which may indicate a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the district's spending per student varies significantly, with the elementary schools spending less per student than the middle and high schools, which could be an area for further analysis to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.
