HUDSON VALLY, NY — WalletHub recently released its list of the most equitable schools in New York for 2020 and 16 Hudson Valley school districts made the cut. With the coronavirus pandemic making discrepancies between the rich and poor even more prominent, many are looking at schools that have more equitable funding to help prevent lower graduation rates, lower rates of pursuing higher education and smaller future incomes than their wealthy peers among poor students, according to the website. The study conducted by the ranking website found that New York has the least equitable school districts in the United States overall, but some districts within the state are fairer than others. WalletHub compared the average household income and expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools per pupil for the 675 districts across New York to compile the list. As a result, 16 local districts made the top 100 most equitable school districts in the state.
