Summary:
The Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school grades across two schools: Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Elementary School and Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Junior/Senior High School. The data indicates that both schools are performing below state averages on key academic metrics, suggesting systemic challenges within the district.
On standardized tests, the elementary school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from 23-35%, significantly lower than the 50-60% state averages. The junior/senior high school also lags behind state averages on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 15-65% compared to 56-76% statewide. Additionally, the junior/senior high school has a graduation rate of 84.3%, below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than desirable.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, which exceeds state averages, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests potential issues with resource allocation or utilization. Furthermore, the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, which could be impacting academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District faces substantial challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement significant reforms and interventions to improve student outcomes.
