Middle Schools (6-8)
The Felix Festa Middle School Campus is a very large middle school serving the entire district, located in New City, New York. Administratively, the campus operates as three separate schools:
Congers Elementary School in Congers has been closed since the 2013-14 school year due to emergency repairs. The Clarkstown community successfully passed a bond vote to repair the building, but the Board voted in February 2015 to keep the building closed and to repurpose it.[2]
Chestnut Grove School in New City has been converted into district offices.
Street School in New City has been converted into a community center.[3]
Central and Union Free school districts are authorized to operate high schools, though not all do, while common school districts may not operate high schools.
