Summary:

Red Jacket High School is a public high school located in Shortsville, NY, serving 220 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Manchester-Shortsville Central School District, which is ranked 599 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Red Jacket High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 165th out of 1,210 New York high schools in 2017-2018 to 674th out of 1,242 in 2023-2024, its performance on Regents/Common Core exams is mixed compared to the state and district averages. The school excels in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Physics, but struggles in Algebra I, Geometry, and Global History and Geography. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 84.3% to 93.7% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state average, and it has a higher-than-average dropout rate, ranging from 3.3% to 10% in recent years.

Red Jacket High School also faces equity concerns, as its performance on Regents/Common Core exams varies significantly among different student subgroups, with female students, male students, and white students generally performing better than special education students and low socioeconomic status students. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending, its academic outcomes have not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting the need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and learn from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Canandaigua Academy and Victor Senior High School.

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.
