Summary:
The Pleasantville Union Free School District is home to one exceptional elementary school, Bedford Road School, which serves students in grades K-4. This school has consistently earned high ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top 12% of elementary schools in New York state.
Bedford Road School's students demonstrate exceptional academic performance, significantly outpacing the state average on New York State Assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, 74.51% of 3rd graders and 76.58% of 4th graders scored proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 54.15% and 54.07% respectively. In math, 81.55% of 3rd graders and 82.14% of 4th graders scored proficient or better, far exceeding the state averages of 59.7% and 58.64%. The school's strong performance is further reflected in its consistent 4- and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's academic excellence, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.17%) suggests the school may not be serving a highly economically diverse population. The Pleasantville Union Free School District spends $28,718 per student, significantly higher than the state average, indicating a substantial investment in education. However, further analysis would be needed to understand how these resources are allocated and their impact on the school's exceptional outcomes.
