Summary:
Deruyter Central School District in New York has a single high school, Deruyter High School, serving grades 6-12. With 168 students and a student-teacher ratio of 6.3, the school faces academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from 24% to 73.68% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher.
Deruyter High School spends $24,015 per student, which is higher than the state average, but this increased funding has not translated to improved academic outcomes. The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantage, with 56.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is a concern and may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. Addressing attendance and student engagement should be a priority for the Deruyter Central School District as it works to provide a high-quality education to its students.
