Greenvale School, Scarsdale NY - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Greenvale School

Greenvale School is a suburban elementary school serving grades 2 through 5 in Scarsdale, a built-out residential village in Westchester County. The school's enrollment is small by modern standards, with roughly balanced grade cohorts across the lower and middle elementary range. Demographically, the student body is majority white, with substantial Asian and Hispanic representation and smaller populations of Black students and students of two or more races. The school is part of the Eastchester Union Free School District, which in February 2022 passed a major capital bond to address aging buildings and infrastructure across its campuses.

Academically, Greenvale performs solidly in math and English language arts. In math, fourth grade shows the strongest proficiency, with the vast majority of tested students meeting state standards; third and fifth grades fall in the low-to-mid range of proficiency, with about three-quarters of students meeting benchmarks. In English language arts, fourth grade again leads, followed by third grade, with fifth grade somewhat lower. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits noticeably below these subjects, with about two-thirds of students meeting standards. Student participation in testing is consistently high, running in the low-to-mid 90s, indicating that nearly all enrolled students took the assessments.

On the state's proficiency index, Greenvale ranks above the midpoint among Westchester County districts, reflecting solid performance relative to its regional peers.

Scarsdale itself is an affluent village built out primarily to single-family homes on generous lots, organized into five distinct neighborhoods. The village center, anchored by a renovated library and compact retail core, is modestly walkable but largely commercial and civic; the schools sit on separate campuses in the residential areas. The Scarsdale Metro-North station offers rail access to Grand Central, and the area has well-maintained parks and recreational amenities. Housing costs are steep: single-family homes and new construction carry median prices well above the state benchmark, and rental rates are correspondingly high. The village has recently faced retail challenges downtown, with a dozen-plus closures spurring a revitalization committee.

For a family considering this school, the practical calculus centers on a affluent suburban context with strong baseline academic performance, a stable peer group, and enrollment small enough that class sizes remain manageable. The capital bond investment suggests the district is making long-term commitments to facilities. A parent may want to look into the school's specific curriculum, classroom structure, and support services directly with the school, as the data here reflects test performance rather than instructional approach or the school's own stated priorities.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
