Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10989

Summary:

The 10989 zip code area in New York is home to two elementary schools - Liberty Elementary School and Valley Cottage School - both part of the Nyack Union Free School District. While both schools serve the same community, the data indicates that Valley Cottage School is the standout performer in the area.

Valley Cottage School is ranked in the top 10% of elementary schools in New York, placing 204 out of 2,445, while Liberty Elementary is ranked 943. Valley Cottage also holds a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Liberty's 3-star rating. On state assessments, Valley Cottage consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science for grades 3-5.

The data suggests that factors such as lower student-teacher ratio, higher spending per student, and potentially a more affluent student population at Valley Cottage may contribute to its superior academic performance. While the reasons for the significant gap between the two schools are not entirely clear, further investigation into Valley Cottage's best practices could provide valuable insights that could potentially be replicated at other schools in the district.
