Best Public Schools in Elmsford, NY

Summary:

The city of Elmsford, New York is home to three schools: two elementary schools, Alice E Grady Elementary School and Carl L Dixson Elementary School, as well as one high school, Alexander Hamilton High School. These schools serve students from the Elmsford Union Free School District.

Among the three schools, Alice E Grady Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 757 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, particularly in 4th and 5th grade ELA and 4th and 6th grade Math. In contrast, Alexander Hamilton High School has shown mixed academic performance, with some Regents exam proficiency rates above the state average but others well below.

The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation and student demographics across the schools. Carl L Dixson Elementary School, with its small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, has the highest per-student spending in the district, likely due to the need for more individualized attention. Meanwhile, Alexander Hamilton High School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges in supporting student success.
