Summary:
The city of Peekskill, New York is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The Peekskill City School District as a whole is performing poorly, ranking in the bottom 6% of districts in New York state. This is reflected in the low rankings and test scores of the individual schools.
Peekskill High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is higher than the district and state averages, but its test scores are well below state levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-57% across different Regents exams. In contrast, Peekskill Middle School has the lowest statewide ranking among the schools, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 21-32% in ELA and 23-32% in math.
The Uriah Hill School stands out with a very low free/reduced lunch rate of only 6.45%, much lower than the other schools, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the rest of the district. Despite the low performance across the district, the schools are spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $28,186 to $30,553 per student, with relatively low student-teacher ratios.
