Kinderhook Central School District

The Kinderhook Central School District is home to three schools - Ichabod Crane Middle School, Ichabod Crane Senior High School, and Ichabod Crane Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are located in the Kinderhook area.

Ichabod Crane Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 336-446 middle schools in New York state. The school's students demonstrate exceptional proficiency on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Earth Science and Algebra I, where they achieve 100% proficiency rates. Ichabod Crane Senior High School also impresses with its strong Regents exam results, with many subject areas exceeding the district and state proficiency rates, and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%.

While the schools in the Kinderhook Central School District generally perform well, there are a few areas that could be targeted for improvement, such as the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school and the lower proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels. However, the district's commitment to equitable resource allocation, as evidenced by the consistent per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools, is commendable.
