Summary

Harmony Hill School is an elementary school located in Cohoes, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 378 students. The school is part of the Cohoes City School District, which is ranked 671 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Hill School has consistently underperformed compared to the Cohoes City School District and the state of New York in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance on the state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking particularly low for Hispanic and Homeless students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,353 to $22,925 over the past four school years, and a favorable student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not reflect this investment.

When comparing Harmony Hill School to other nearby elementary schools, such as Van Schaick Island School, which is also part of the Cohoes City School District, it becomes evident that Harmony Hill School is underperforming. Van Schaick Island School consistently outperforms Harmony Hill School on the state assessments, despite serving a similar student population. Furthermore, Harmony Hill School's performance has not shown significant improvement over the past several years, and the school's ranking among New York elementary schools has remained in the bottom half, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
