Best Public Schools in Hurley, NY

Summary:

The city of Hurley, New York has only one public elementary school, the Ernest C Myer School, which serves students from kindergarten to 4th grade and is part of the Kingston City School District. While the school has access to significant resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Math.

The Ernest C Myer School has ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past three years, with a statewide ranking between 1302 and 1455 out of around 2,400 schools. In 3rd grade, the school outperforms the district average in both ELA and Math, but still falls short of the state average. However, in 4th grade, the school's ELA performance drops below both the district and state averages, while its Math performance is closer to the district average but still below the state level.

The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low-income status, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. While the school's resources suggest a focus on supporting student learning, the disconnect between spending and outcomes raises questions about how these resources are being utilized to improve student performance and close the achievement gap with the state.
