Summary:

The city of Peekskill, New York is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are part of the Peekskill City School District and provide education to a diverse student population.

Among the standout schools, Hillcrest School stands out with the highest student enrollment and the strongest performance in Math proficiency, exceeding both district and state averages.
