Summary

Andes Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Andes, NY, with a total enrollment of 78 students. The school has seen some strengths, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, but also faces challenges in areas like math and science.

Andes Central School has had a 4-year graduation rate around 84-85% in recent years, on par with the state average, but its dropout rate of 4.5% is slightly higher. On ELA assessments, the school generally performs above the state average, with 4th and 7th grade scores being particularly strong. However, the school struggles with math assessments, scoring well below the state average in most grades. On Regents exams, Andes Central School performs above the state average in Common Core ELA and U.S. History, but below average in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Algebra II. The school's spending per student has increased significantly, from around $3,800 in 2018-2019 to over $33,000 in 2022-2023, but this does not seem to be translating to commensurate improvements in academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Charlotte Valley School and Roscoe Central School perform on par or slightly better than Andes Central School on most metrics, while Stamford Central School, Roxbury Central School, and Downsville Central School tend to outperform Andes Central School, especially on math and science assessments. The school's very low student-teacher ratio suggests it has ample resources, but this does not appear to be fully leveraged to drive stronger academic performance across all subject areas.
