Original Research by School Decision on West Park School
West Park School was a special education school serving middle grades, located in West Park in Ulster County. According to available records, the school is now inactive.
The school was part of West Park Union Free School District, a Special Act district historically tied to the St. Cabrini Home and designed to serve court-placed and social-service-referred youth rather than children from resident families in the traditional way a public school district operates. The district's school facilities have closed.
State testing data from the school's final reporting year shows only very small cohorts of students tested in math, English language arts, science, and social studies at the middle grades. The numbers of students assessed were so small that the state suppressed all proficiency results to protect student privacy. No other enrollment, demographic, or program data was available in the records.
Because this school is no longer operating, families cannot enroll there. Anyone seeking special education services in Ulster County would need to contact their resident district or explore other active special education placements in the region.
Housing in the West Park zip code currently shows values somewhat above the state benchmark for New York, with stable year-over-year trends. The area's economic context includes a moderate unemployment rate and a 30-year mortgage rate in the mid-range.
For families with students needing special education services or more information about school options in Ulster County, the active districts in the county remain available as resources.
