Summary

Prospect Hill School is an exceptional elementary school located in Pelham, NY, serving 336 students in grades K-5. As part of the Pelham Union Free School District, which is ranked 71 out of 874 school districts in New York, Prospect Hill School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 57 and 279 over the past 10 years.

Prospect Hill School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with students consistently outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance is also strong for specific student subgroups, such as ranking 11th out of 1,531 New York elementary schools for Hispanic students and 51st out of 1,337 for White students in ELA proficiency. Additionally, Prospect Hill School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.79% to 3.67% over the past few years, suggesting a relatively high socioeconomic status of the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Siwanoy School and Colonial School, both also part of the Pelham Union Free School District, Prospect Hill School outperforms them in both ELA and Math proficiency. This suggests that Prospect Hill School may have additional factors contributing to its success, such as more effective teaching practices or a more rigorous curriculum. Furthermore, Prospect Hill School's high spending per student ($25,169 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 14.7 over the past few years, indicate that the district is allocating significant resources to support the school's educational program, which may be a contributing factor to its strong performance.

Wonderful teachers and ancillary staff! My children love it here! Beautiful playground and spacious soccer/baseball field... The principal runs a tight ship, but is kind and nurturing. Close Quote
