Summary

Sargent School is an elementary school located in Beacon, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 302 students. It is part of the Beacon City School District, which is ranked 608 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sargent School consistently performs better than the Beacon City School District and the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency for grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Sargent School had 65.85% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.36% for the district and 54.15% for the state. In Math, Sargent School had 78.57% of 3rd graders proficient or better, compared to 51.3% for the district and 59.7% for the state. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is significantly lower, often ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

Sargent School's academic performance is generally stronger than the other elementary schools in the Beacon City School District, such as Glenham School and South Avenue School. However, when compared to higher-performing schools outside the district, such as Cornwall-On-Hudson Elementary School in the Cornwall Central School District, Sargent School's performance lags behind. The school's increased per-student spending, from $15,960 in 2020-2021 to $28,546 in 2023-2024, suggests a focus on investing in resources and support for students, but the continued low performance of certain subgroups indicates that the allocation of these resources may not be effectively addressing their specific needs.
