Greenville is known for its public schools, the Edgemont Union Free School District. The Edgemont School District consists of three schools: Edgemont Junior/Senior High School, Greenville Elementary School and Seely Place Elementary School. Each elementary school has students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Edgemont Junior/Senior High School, which sits on an 80-acre campus, contains students from grades 7 through 12. In Newsweek magazine's 2007 ranking of public high schools nationwide, Edgemont was ranked first in Westchester County and 41st nationwide. This was consistent with Newsweek's 2005 public high school listings which ranked Edgemont first in Westchester County and 26th in the nation. Similarly, in Westchester Magazine's 2005 rankings of public schools (the most recent time the magazine ranked schools on any criteria other than income), Edgemont was ranked first of 44 public schools in the county. In addition, in 1999, U.S. News & World Report named Edgemont as one of its "examples of excellence" for a suburban public school. |
