Summary

Golden Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Florida, NY, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 339 students. The school is part of the Florida Union Free School District, which is ranked 314 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Golden Hill Elementary has consistently performed better than the state average on New York State Assessments across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were higher than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-5 and in Math for grades 3-4. This trend has been observed over the past few years, with the school's performance often exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school's rankings for certain student subgroups, such as female students and Hispanic students, have been lower compared to their peers, indicating a need to address achievement gaps. The school's per-student spending has also increased steadily, from $14,141 in 2020-2021 to $22,507 in 2023-2024, which may have contributed to its academic success.

When comparing Golden Hill Elementary to nearby schools, it outperforms Maple Hill Elementary School and William A Carter School, both part of the Middletown City School District. However, Greenwood Lake Elementary School, part of the Greenwood Lake Union Free School District, has a higher SchoolDigger rating and stronger academic performance in certain grade levels and subjects compared to Golden Hill Elementary. The schools in the Warwick Valley Central School District, such as Park Avenue Elementary School and Sanfordville Elementary School, have generally higher academic performance and SchoolDigger ratings than Golden Hill Elementary.
