Best Public Schools in West Harrison, NY


Summary:

The city of West Harrison, New York is home to two schools - Samuel J Preston School, an elementary school, and Reach Academy (The), a high school. While the elementary school stands out as a high-performing institution, the data reveals a stark contrast in the academic performance and characteristics between the two schools.

Samuel J Preston School is a standout elementary school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools and outperforming the Harrison Central School District and the state on state assessments. The school's strong academic results, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, suggest it serves a relatively affluent student population, as evidenced by its low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

In contrast, Reach Academy (The), the high school in the data set, has a much lower ranking and performance history, as well as a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. The significant difference in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school may contribute to the disparity in academic outcomes, with the high school's smaller student population and higher spending potentially indicating the additional resources and support required to serve its student body.
