Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 55.4%, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, its academic performance data suggests significant challenges in student engagement and achievement. The school's proficiency rates on Regents exams are generally lower than the state and district averages, with the exception of Algebra II. Furthermore, the school has a high percentage of students (70.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance, suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by Lawrence Senior High School.
