Red Creek High School

Summary:

Red Creek High School is a public high school serving 245 students in grades 9-12 in the Red Creek Central School District in New York. The school generally performs better than the state average on Regents/Common Core exams, with 85.71% proficiency in English Language Arts and 100% proficiency in Algebra II, significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 37.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Red Creek High School performs better on test scores and graduation rates, but faces unique challenges in supporting its student population, with a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, ranging from 46.81% to 47.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 173 out of 1,255 New York high schools in 2014-2015 to 593 out of 1,242 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

The school's performance on certain subgroups, such as White students and Special Education students, has been consistently low, with 1 star out of 5 ratings from SchoolDigger. This indicates that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these student populations. Additionally, the school's spending per student has declined from $19,600 in 2019-2020 to $14,883 in 2022-2023, which may be contributing to the school's challenges in maintaining high performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
