Summary

Hunter Elementary School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-8 in the Hunter-Tannersville Central School District. The school has 168 students and is located in Hunter, NY. While the district as a whole is ranked 530 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Hunter Elementary School's performance raises some concerns.

Hunter Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 26.67% to 54.55%, compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In Math, the school's proficiency rates range from 33.33% to 70.59%, compared to the state average of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade is also significantly lower at 20%, compared to the state average of 45.02%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.88% to 53.16% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to the nearby schools of Otsego-Delaware-Schoharie-Greene BOCES, Roxbury Central School, Gilboa-Conesville Central School, and Windham Ashland Central School, Hunter Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. Despite these concerns, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $19,767 in 2020-2021 to a projected $46,295 in 2023-2024, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 7.8 over the past few years.
