Summary:
The Broadalbin-Perth Central School District in New York consists of two schools: Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School and Broadalbin-Perth Junior-Senior High School. The data suggests that the junior-senior high school is the stronger performing school in the district, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and statewide rankings compared to the elementary school.
Broadalbin-Perth Junior-Senior High School has consistently ranked higher than the elementary school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 295 out of 1,234 New York high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The high school outperforms the state and district averages in most subject areas, particularly in math and science, with several Regents exam subjects exceeding 80% proficiency. Additionally, the high school has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a lower dropout rate than the state average.
In contrast, the Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School has lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This disparity in performance between the elementary and high school suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to this gap and implement strategies to improve the elementary school's performance. The district also has relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, but the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which could indicate potential equity concerns.
