Summary:
The city of Addison, New York has only one high school, Addison Middle/High School, which serves grades 6-12 and is part of the Addison Central School District. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally below the New York state average, with some exceptions in specific subject areas. The school faces challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and serving a population with significant economic needs.
Addison Middle/High School has an enrollment of 515 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.3. The school's four-year graduation rate is 84.3%, which is relatively strong compared to the state, but the 4.5% dropout rate is an area that could use improvement. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is concerning and may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $32,506, this investment does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.44%) suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional support and resources to help students succeed.
