Clinton seems to be divided amongst school districts. Which one has the best reputation?

For that, I turned to GreatSchools.org since I know that they have district ratings, and the clear winner there is Rhinebeck School District as opposed to the Hyde Park School District. Rhinebeck gets an 8/10, while Hyde Park gets only a 5/10.

A couple of the schools in Hyde Park I've heard are a little spotty, though that's second-hand information, but I know of no such issues in Rhinebeck schools.

I agree with jmicik- Hyde Park is on the state's watch list for English Language Arts. On the positive side, this designation does usually give the district extra funds for things like professional development and enrichment programs.
