Summary:
The city of Bergen, New York is home to two schools: Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School and Byron-Bergen Elementary School, both part of the Byron-Bergen Central School District. The high school consistently performs well on Regents exams, with several subjects showing over 90% proficiency rates, and has a strong graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, the elementary school has more mixed results, with performance closer to the state average on state assessments, but faces challenges with a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 50%.
The high school stands out for its exceptional academic achievement, with students excelling on Regents exams in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Earth Science, and Physics. This level of performance, coupled with a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%, suggests a strong focus on college and career readiness. However, the elementary school faces potential equity concerns, with a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students and lower spending per student compared to the high school.
While the high school has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, ranging from 188th to 455th out of over 1,200 high schools in New York, the elementary school has maintained a more consistent ranking, between 1,104th and 1,923rd out of over 2,400 elementary schools. The district as a whole is ranked 450 out of 874 in New York, with a 2-star rating, suggesting that the broader context may impact individual school performance.
