Summary

Alexander Hamilton High School is a public high school in Elmsford, New York, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 477 students. The school is part of the Elmsford Union Free School District, which is ranked 529 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Alexander Hamilton High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams often in the 30-50% range, which is generally below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly low in 8th grade math (17.5% proficient) and Geometry (30.3% proficient). Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 89.0%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rates have ranged from 0.0% to 4.9%, which is higher than the state average.

One notable factor is the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 45.35% to 52.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby high-performing schools like Dobbs Ferry High School (19.41%) and Edgemont Junior-Senior High School. This, coupled with the school's chronic absenteeism issue, with rates ranging from 16.9% to 34.1%, may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance. Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, additional resources alone may not be the sole solution, and other factors such as instructional quality, school climate, and student engagement may need to be addressed.
