Summary:

The Pearl River Union Free School District is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in New York State.

Pearl River High School is the district's flagship, consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state with excellent academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. Pearl River Middle School also stands out, ranking among the top middle schools in New York and demonstrating impressive proficiency rates on state assessments. At the elementary level, Lincoln Avenue School is a top performer, with high proficiency rates and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate.

Across the district, the schools generally perform well on state assessments, often exceeding the district and state averages in ELA, Math, and Science. The district also invests heavily in its schools, with high spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios. While the schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, there are a few areas for potential improvement, such as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school and supporting the relatively lower-performing elementary schools to bring them up to the district and state standards.
