The school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of New York high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the top-performing high schools in the state.

While Beekmantown High School faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.4% to 34.1% in recent years, the school's strong academic foundation and dedicated resources, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 11.5, make it a desirable educational option for students in the local area. The school's increased spending per student, from $11,286 in 2020-2021 to $18,497 in 2023-2024, may have also contributed to its academic success.

What people are saying

Open Quote Our cafeteria food is atrocious. The lunch ladies have tried to steal my money by saying my account was 'overdue for payment' even though we are given free food. The disciplinary administrator is unreasonable and hot-headed. The teachers always try to snake their way into our personal life, and commonly intrude on our conversations and/or personal business. Many teachers are incapable of teaching and mostly refuse to help students with work. It's not all bad however, many teachers do leave a positive impact on their students. Close Quote

Open Quote We have been in the district for 3 years (2009-2012). Our daughter is an advanced placement student, an active sports participant and involved in various school clubs & activities.

We are leaving the district after this school year. We have found the district to be very unsatisfactory. There is a huge lack of communication/organization. Financial problems have plagued the district for years, and seems to be continually getting worse!

A recent announcement released to the local press (pressrepublican.com) has detailed the districts intention to discontinue all music and art classes as well as all athletic programs, and 40 faculty positions.

My heart goes out to the students that aren't able to move as we are. :( Close Quote
