Best Public Schools in Rushville, NY

Summary:

The city of Rushville, New York is home to 3 schools that are part of the Gorham-Middlesex Central School District (Marcus Whitman), which serves students from elementary through high school. The standout performer in the district appears to be Marcus Whitman High School, which consistently ranks in the top 17% of high schools in New York and has strong academic performance across a variety of subjects.

In contrast, the other two schools in the district, Marcus Whitman Middle School and Middlesex Valley Elementary School, do not appear to be as strong performers based on the available data. Marcus Whitman Middle School is ranked in the bottom 50% of middle schools in New York, with proficiency rates generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Middlesex Valley Elementary School does not have recent ranking or performance data available, but it has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

Despite the stark performance differences between the high school and the other schools, the per-student spending levels are relatively consistent across the district, ranging from $16,638 to $18,433. This could indicate that the district is allocating resources equitably, but it may also suggest that additional funding alone is not the sole driver of academic success. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the elementary school level (70.8%), suggest that the district may be serving a relatively disadvantaged student population, which could be an area for further investigation and potential targeted interventions.
