Summary

Alexandria Central High School is a public high school located in Alexandria Bay, New York, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Alexandria Central School District, which is ranked 338 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alexandria Central High School has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of New York high schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 285 out of 1234 high schools in the state. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally strong, with many subject areas exceeding the state average proficiency rates. However, the school's performance in 8th grade math and science state assessments has been relatively weaker, with proficiency rates around 30-40% in recent years. The school has maintained a solid four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.3% to 90.6% in recent years, but its dropout rate has fluctuated, ranging from 3.1% to 10% over the past few years, which is slightly higher than the state average.

Despite its relatively small size, Alexandria Central High School invests significantly more per student compared to the nearby larger high schools, Thousand Islands High School and Indian River High School. This higher per-student spending, combined with the school's low student-teacher ratio, suggests that the Alexandria Central School District is prioritizing resource allocation to support student learning and success. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 36.2% in recent years, is an area that warrants further attention and intervention to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
