Summary:
The 10570 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, which are part of two different school districts - Pleasantville Union Free School District and Mount Pleasant-Cottage Union Free School District.
Pleasantville High School and Pleasantville Middle School appear to be the standout schools in the area, with consistently high statewide rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools have strong graduation rates, low dropout rates, and significantly higher proficiency rates on Regents and state assessments compared to the state and district averages. In contrast, Mount Pleasant-Cottage School and Edenwald School have very low proficiency rates on state assessments, despite spending significantly more per student than the Pleasantville schools.
The data highlights the stark contrast in educational outcomes between the high-performing Pleasantville schools and the struggling Mount Pleasant-Cottage schools, despite being located in the same zip code area. This underscores the importance of examining school-level data to identify and address disparities in educational quality and resources, as the higher spending at the Mount Pleasant-Cottage schools does not seem to be translating into better outcomes for students.
