Summary

Emma C Chase School is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Wurtsboro, New York, which is part of the Monticello Central School District. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1115 to 1856 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools, and is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Emma C Chase School is its academic performance, as the school consistently outperforms the Monticello Central School District in proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in these subjects for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were significantly higher than the district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade ELA, Emma C Chase School had a 64.52% proficiency rate, compared to 39.78% for the district and 56.61% for the state.

However, the school faces persistent challenges in addressing achievement gaps among different student subgroups. While the school's White students consistently perform better than the overall school performance, ranking in the top 50% of New York elementary schools, the Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 25%. Additionally, Emma C Chase School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.44% to 57.02% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. When compared to nearby schools, Emma C Chase School generally outperforms Ellenville Elementary School and Middletown City School District schools, but some schools in the Pine Bush Central School District and the Minisink Valley Central School District, such as Pine Bush Elementary and Otisville Elementary, demonstrate higher proficiency rates and stronger overall performance.
