Demographics


As of 2019, enrollment by gender is split 51% male and 49% female.
65% of students are white, 20% are Asian or Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander, 7% are Hispanic or Latino, 6% are Multicultural, and 1% are African American.
As of 1991, students of East Asian origin made up 19.3% of the school district's students. That year 26% of the students at Fox Meadow Elementary School were of Asian origin, Over 25% of the students at another one of the elementary schools were of Asian origin. The increase was chiefly due to a large number of Japanese businesspersons assigned to the New York City area moving to Scarsdale, and also due to a large number of houses being occupied by "empty nesters". Fox Meadow adjusted to its new population by giving new Japanese students American "buddies," establishing English-Japanese handbooks, and a parent-teacher association group oriented to Japanese parents.




Student performance


As of that year SAT averages of the school system are over 100 points higher than the national average. In 2007 the SAT averages were 639 for mathematics, 617 for reading, and 636 on writing. The national averages were 505 for mathematics, 491 for reading, and 494 for writing. In 2006 there were 364 graduates from Scarsdale High School. Of them, almost 97% were scheduled to attend four-year universities. Elsa Brenner of The New York Times wrote that "The school system remains tough to beat and is clearly doing all it can to stay that way."

Each elementary school is named after one of the five neighborhoods in Scarsdale.
