Best Public Schools in Hermon, NY

Summary:

The city of Hermon, New York is home to two schools: Edwards-Knox Elementary School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Edwards-Knox Central School District. While the junior-senior high school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of New York high schools, the elementary school lags behind, ranking in the bottom 10% of the state's elementary schools.

The junior-senior high school has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with an 84.3% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.5% dropout rate. Students at this school also demonstrate strong performance on Regents exams, exceeding state averages in most subjects. In contrast, the elementary school has a 1-star rating and proficiency rates on state assessments that are well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of poverty may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the elementary school level. Addressing the disparities between the two schools and providing targeted support for the elementary school could be a key focus for the district moving forward, in order to ensure all students in Hermon have access to a high-quality education.
