Willow Grove Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Willow Grove Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Haverstraw-Stony Point Central School District in Thiells, New York. The school has 568 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5, which is lower than nearby schools.

Willow Grove Elementary School generally outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grades 4-6. However, the school has experienced some fluctuations in performance over the years, particularly during the 2020-2021 school year, which was likely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a low-income student population that may require additional resources to support learning.

Interestingly, while Willow Grove Elementary School outperforms the district, the nearby James A Farley Elementary School within the same district also demonstrates strong academic performance, often exceeding Willow Grove's proficiency rates. Additionally, the high spending per student at Willow Grove Elementary School does not necessarily translate to consistently higher academic performance across all grades and subjects, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may play a significant role in student outcomes.
