A-graded Harrison and Valhalla public schools
Harrison Central School District and Valhalla Union Free School District, which both receive an overall A Niche grade, serve students living in West Harrison. Younger learners can benefit from an 11-1 student-teacher ratio at Samuel J. Preston Elementary, which receives an A Niche grade. As they progress, students can receive an even better 9-1 student-teacher ratio at Valhalla Middle, which also receives an A grade. Older students can attend Valhalla High or Harrison High, both graded an A-minus by Niche. At both schools, 95% or more of students are proficient in reading and math, according to the state test scores reported to Niche. “If you have children, you’re probably spending your weekend at a sports game played at one of the schools in the area. Harrison High School rivals Rye High School, so those football games turn into Friday Night Lights,” says Kori Sassower, a local and Realtor at Compass Greater NY, LLC.
Samuel J. Preston Elementary School has great academic and athletic opportunities for students.
Valhalla Middle School is connected to the High School and shares its campus.

Nature walks and exclusive water parks
With multiple lakes kissing the northern and western shores of West Harrison, there’s plenty of opportunity for locals to get fresh air. At Liberty Park, residents walk the trails through foliage around Silver Lake, where they can also kayak or fish. On the other side of Silver Lake, locals practice sports on the athletic fields or play in the gated playground area at Passidomo Veterans Park. “Near the park on Silver Lake, they just added a pool complex with waterslides and a splash pad, for West Harrison residents only,” Sassower adds. Delfino Park is right off Interstate 287, where there’s a seasonal ice rink.
Liberty Park is located on the West Harrison border along Lake St.

Preserved lakes to keep wildlife abundant
“A lot of people go to Cranberry Lake Preserve, north of the neighborhood, where there are wooded hiking trails around the lake and a wildlife nature center,” says Sassower. This protected area does not allow bicycles on the trails or fishing in the lake. The adjacent Kensico Reservoir also prohibits motorboats and recreational crafts like kayaks, but shore fishing is allowed. More popular spots to cast lines, though, are the many coves around Rye Lake. Avid golfers might join Century Country Club, located on the eastern edge of West Harrison.
Residents in the northern part West Harrison have Cranberry Lake Preserve for unlimited hiking.
