Summary:
The city of Coxsackie, New York is home to three schools that are part of the Coxsackie-Athens Central School District: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. While the high school and middle school show promising results, the elementary school lags behind in academic achievement.
Coxsackie-Athens High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in Algebra II, Chemistry, and Physics. In contrast, Coxsackie-Athens Middle School impresses with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and Algebra I Regents exams, as well as outperforming the district and state averages in several 5th and 6th grade ELA and math assessments. However, Coxsackie Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates in ELA and math assessments falling below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals disparities in per-student spending, with the middle school receiving the highest funding at $37,464 per student, compared to $35,816 for the elementary school and $16,616 for the high school. This raises questions about the district's resource allocation and prioritization. Additionally, the higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the elementary school (44.21%) suggests potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes, highlighting the need to address equity and access issues within the district.
