Elementary Schools in Newburgh City School District

Summary:

The Newburgh City School District in New York operates 9 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 773 out of 874 in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out as potential high-performers within the district. Meadow Hill School has the highest statewide ranking, placing 1,208 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and earning 3 out of 5 stars. It also has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math across multiple grade levels compared to the district and state averages. New Windsor School has the second-highest statewide ranking, placing 1,436 out of 2,445, and has particularly strong performance in Math. Fostertown School has the third-highest statewide ranking, placing 1,191 out of 2,445, and has above-average proficiency rates in both subjects.

However, the district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state averages. Schools also have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 49.74% to 68.69%, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage. While the district spends significantly more per student than the state average, there are significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and strategies to drive improvement across the Newburgh City School District.
