Education review website Niche recently released a ranking of the best public school districts in the country. We've pulled out the top 10 districts in Westchester County from their list, with Edgemont School District taking the number one spot.

Student and alumni reviews also show a lot of school pride. As one recent alumnus writes at Niche, "The teachers at Edgemont are really above and beyond, for the most part. The newly revitalized administration is also working to keep the standards of schools high."
