Summary:

The Newburgh City School District in New York consists of 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 773 out of 874 in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges facing the district.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as performing better than others. Meadow Hill School, an elementary/middle school, is ranked 1208 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and has a 3-star rating. It outperforms the district and state averages on many academic metrics, including English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. Similarly, Fostertown School, a magnet elementary school, is ranked 760 out of 2439 New York elementary schools and has a 3-star rating, with some of the highest proficiency rates in the district, particularly in Math. New Windsor School, another magnet elementary school, is ranked 1436 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, but also demonstrates strong academic performance, especially in Math.

The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the schools, with some schools struggling to meet state and district averages. There appears to be a relationship between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the magnet schools in the district generally outperform the traditional public schools, suggesting that the specialized curriculum and focus of these schools may be contributing to their success. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the Newburgh City School District as a whole will likely require a comprehensive approach involving stakeholders at all levels.
