Summary

Beekman School is an elementary school located in Poughquag, New York, serving 376 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Arlington Central School District, which is ranked 527 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beekman School consistently outperforms the Arlington Central School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 65.67% of Beekman School's 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.88% for the district and 54.15% for the state.

Additionally, Beekman School's 5th-grade students consistently outperform the district and state in science proficiency, with 57.38% proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 53.4% for the district and 45.02% for the state.

While Beekman School's performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined from 448 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 944 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, suggesting that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. Beekman School's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Noxon Road Elementary School and Vail Farm Elementary School, which are also part of the Arlington Central School District. However, some nearby schools, such as Fishkill Plains Elementary and Gayhead School (both in the Wappingers Central School District), have higher proficiency rates and rankings.
