NEW PALTZ CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Located at 196 Main Street in New Paltz, New York, the New Paltz Central School District is an active, traditional public school system serving the vibrant Hudson Valley region. Situated within a picturesque rural fringe setting in the broader Kingston metropolitan area, the district operates four public schools designed to nurture academic growth from early childhood through young adulthood. Offering a complete continuum of education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as specialized ungraded programming, the district serves a diverse student body of 1,714 pupils. Its accessible location and comprehensive scope make it a cornerstone of educational life for local families and a compelling subject of study for regional education researchers.

Underpinning the district’s educational mission is a substantial human infrastructure focused on individualized student support and academic excellence. The district maintains a robust professional workforce totaling nearly 775 full-time equivalent staff members, including approximately 344 full-time equivalent teachers, 47 instructional aides, and 385 support personnel. This generous staffing capacity fosters a low student-to-staff ratio and a highly supportive learning environment across all four campuses.
