Best Public Schools in Selkirk, NY

Summary:

The city of Selkirk, New York has only one school, the Albertus W Becker School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 416 students. The school is part of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District, which is ranked 659 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Albertus W Becker School's state-wide ranking among New York elementary schools has declined over the past 3 years, from 1410 in 2022-2023 to 1628 in 2024-2025, despite maintaining a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally higher than the district averages, but lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 37.74%, which is often associated with lower academic achievement due to socioeconomic factors.

Despite the school's high spending per student of $26,236 for the 2023-2024 school year, this high spending does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes based on the available data. The school's student-teacher ratio is 10.8 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is relatively low. Overall, the analysis of the Albertus W Becker School data suggests that the school is facing some challenges, with a declining state-wide ranking, mixed academic performance, and a high free and reduced lunch rate.
