Blind Brook High School, Rye Brook NY

Original Research by School Decision on Blind Brook High School

Blind Brook High School serves grades nine through twelve and enrolls a small student body, making it a tight-knit school within the Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District. The school sits on the King Street campus in the northern edge of Rye Brook, near the Connecticut border, alongside the middle school. State assessment data and graduation rates for the school were not available, so a parent seeking that information would need to request it directly from the district.

The student composition is predominantly white, with smaller populations of Hispanic, multiracial, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. Free-or-reduced-price-lunch data and counts of students with individualized education plans or English learner status were not provided, so the school's economic diversity and special-population enrollment remain unclear from these records.

Rye Brook itself is a car-oriented residential suburb where civic and commercial life centers on shopping centers rather than a downtown, and the school campus is accessed via parkway exit rather than as a neighborhood walk-to-school destination. The village is defined by its schools and commuter access, with a strong white-collar employment base including the water-technology company Xylem and many small professional practices. Housing in the zip code is mid-to-upper-range, and the market has seen increased inventory recently, though it remains a premium-priced area. The Port Chester-Rye Brook Public Library serves the community, and parks with fields and playgrounds are prominent amenities.

The district has embarked on a pedagogical shift toward what it calls deep learning, emphasizing critical thinking, enduring understanding, and applying skills in new contexts, with community curriculum town halls beginning in the prior year. This change signals where instruction is heading. At the same time, the district faced meaningful budget strain in the 2023-24 school year when it proposed a tax levy increase that exceeded New York State's cap, failed an initial vote, and required a June revote to pass. This is worth noting as a signal of property-tax trajectory in the community.

Program offerings, staffing levels, attendance data, and detailed academic performance information for the high school itself were not included in the available records. A parent exploring this school would benefit from visiting the campus, speaking with current families, and asking the district directly about course breadth, college placement, athletics, arts, and any specialized programs, as well as current proficiency and graduation trends.

Academic performance

How students graduate and prepare for what comes next.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

>=95%Cohort of 123 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

1,253 schools plotted. 14 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Advanced Placement & IB

21 subjects offered · 2023-24

Each card is one AP or IB subject. The headline number is the share of students scoring 3 or higher on the exam — the threshold for college credit at most universities. The bar below each rate shows the underlying distribution across performance levels.

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.
