Summary:
The Bolivar-Richburg Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Bolivar-Richburg Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school faces several challenges, including underperformance in core academic areas, high chronic absenteeism, and a relatively low-income student population.
Bolivar-Richburg Junior-Senior High School is ranked 654 out of 1,234 New York high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher. Proficiency rates on New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school's performance on Regents exams is also mixed, with some subjects performing better than the state average and others performing significantly worse.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $35,336 and small student-teacher ratio of 8.8, the data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students (59.71%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a relatively low-income student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% should also be a priority for the district.
