The building was renovated in 1996 and features a highly advanced distance learning classroom, as well as a state-of-the-art digital security system.[3] It also was one of the first fifteen participants in a statewide anti-school violence program started by then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.[4]

In 2007 the New York Foundation for Educational Reform and Accountability identified the school as one of upstate New York's fifteen "dropout factories", based on data from a Johns Hopkins study that it claimed showed 60 percent or less of its graduating senior classes had been at Ellenville as ninth graders.[5]
