Marlboro Elementary School stands out for its strong performance, ranking 955 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and exceeding the state average in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Math assessments.

The data also reveals some areas for potential improvement. The free and reduced lunch rates are higher at Marlboro Middle School (44.8%) and Marlboro Central High School (36.78%) compared to the elementary school, which may indicate a need for additional support and resources for students from lower-income families as they progress through the education system. Additionally, the varying student-teacher ratios across the schools could be an area for further investigation to understand how class sizes and staffing levels may impact student outcomes.
