Summary:

The Remsen-Union Community School District is home to two schools: Remsen-Union Middle School and Remsen-Union Elementary School. Both schools serve students in the Remsen-Union area and have a strong focus on academic achievement.

Within the district, Remsen-Union Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts impressive test scores, with over 90% of 3rd and 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Remsen-Union Middle School also performs well, with strong test scores, particularly in 8th-grade English Language Arts and Science.

Both schools in the Remsen-Union Community School District have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area for improvement. However, the district as a whole appears to be well-funded, with both schools spending well above the state average per student and maintaining relatively low student-teacher ratios. These factors likely contribute to the strong academic performance observed across the district.
