Summary:
The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Pieter B Coeymans School and Albertus W Becker School. While both schools face challenges in meeting or exceeding state averages on key academic metrics, the data analysis suggests that Albertus W Becker School is the stronger performer in the district.
Albertus W Becker School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores, particularly in Math and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 63.64% of 3rd graders at Albertus W Becker were proficient or better in Math, compared to 58.93% for the district and 59.7% for the state. Additionally, Albertus W Becker School has a higher statewide ranking, consistently placing in the top 2 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger rating, while Pieter B Coeymans School is rated 1 star.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student, at $26,847 for Pieter B Coeymans and $26,236 for Albertus W Becker, compared to the state average. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are low, at 10.5 and 10.8 respectively, which is generally considered favorable for student learning. However, both schools have seen declines in their statewide rankings over the past few years, indicating that they may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other districts across the state. Addressing these gaps and reversing the declining statewide rankings will be important priorities for the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District moving forward.
