Summary:
The city of Thiells, New York is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Haverstraw-Stony Point Central School District (North Rockland). The district's performance is mixed, with North Rockland High School demonstrating relatively strong academic achievement, while the middle and elementary schools show more inconsistent results.
North Rockland High School stands out with its high Regents exam proficiency rates, exceeding state averages in several subject areas. The school also boasts an impressive 84.3% graduation rate, though its 4.5% dropout rate is still notable. In contrast, Fieldstone Middle School has achieved 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Life Science Biology, but its overall state ranking is in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools. The elementary schools, Thiells Elementary School and Willow Grove Elementary School, show more mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects falling well below state averages.
A common thread across all schools in the district is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.61% at North Rockland High School to 62.93% at Thiells Elementary School. This suggests a generally high-need student population, which may be a contributing factor to the performance gaps observed between the high school and lower grade levels. The district's consistent per-student spending of $32,745 and varying student-teacher ratios indicate a need to closely examine resource allocation and educational practices to support student success across all grade levels.
