Suffern Central School District

Summary:

The Suffern Central School District in New York serves approximately 5,000 students across 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank above state averages.

Suffern Senior High School is the district's top-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong test scores, with over 80% proficiency in several Regents exams, and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%. Sloatsburg Elementary School and Suffern Middle School also stand out, with the former performing well on state assessments and the latter showing strong Regents exam results.

While the district generally performs above the state average, there are some areas for improvement. The data reveals a significant drop-off in 8th grade math proficiency, suggesting a potential need to strengthen the district's math curriculum and instruction. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the elementary schools indicates potential socioeconomic disparities that may be impacting student outcomes. Overall, the Suffern Central School District appears to offer a solid educational experience, with several high-performing schools, but also opportunities to address areas of concern and ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
