Summary

Pine Bush Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 647 students in grades PK-5 in the Pine Bush Central School District located in Pine Bush, New York. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than the district in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, but lower proficiency rates than the state averages in these subjects and grade levels.

One notable strength of Pine Bush Elementary is the relatively strong performance of Hispanic students, who rank in the top 35% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school's performance for African American, White, and English Language Learner students is below average compared to the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.07% to 53.16% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, which has increased from $14,834 in 2020-2021 to $20,788 in 2023-2024, its academic performance is mixed compared to the state and district. When compared to other elementary schools in the Pine Bush Central School District, Pine Bush Elementary School generally performs better academically. However, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates in recent years.
