Summary

Ernest C Myer School is an elementary school located in Hurley, NY, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 202 students. It is part of the Kingston City School District, which is ranked 761 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ernest C Myer School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 815 and 1712 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math for 3rd and 4th grades ranging from 39.58% to 51.28%, compared to the state averages of 54.15% to 59.7%. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments has been declining over the past few years. The school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with rankings for male students, white students, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students all in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $39,305 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, its academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this higher investment. When compared to other elementary schools in the Kingston City School District, as well as nearby schools in the Rhinebeck Central School District and Onteora Central School District, Ernest C Myer School generally performs in the middle to lower range, with schools like Chancellor Livingston Elementary and Woodstock Elementary outperforming it on state assessments.
