Summary:
Whitehall Central School District in New York has a single high school, Whitehall Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges that need to be addressed.
Whitehall Junior-Senior High School has a statewide school rank between 720-769 out of 1,190-1,242 New York high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in math. While the school's performance on some Regents exams is better than the district and state, it struggles in others, such as Algebra I, Chemistry, and Geometry. The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending of $17,168, which is above the state average, the school's performance suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
