Summary:
The Bath Central School District in New York consists of three schools: Vernon E Wightman Primary School (elementary), Dana L Lyon Middle School, and Haverling Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 650 out of 874 districts in New York with a 1-star rating, the data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the high school and the lower grade levels.
Haverling Senior High School stands out as the standout performer, with a statewide ranking of 346 out of 1,234 New York high schools and a 4-star rating. The school excels on Regents exams, with many subjects having proficiency rates over 80%. In contrast, Dana L Lyon Middle School and Vernon E Wightman Primary School struggle with low proficiency rates on state assessments, often scoring 10-30 percentage points below the state average in ELA and Math.
Across the district, there are significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50-53%. The district also spends relatively high amounts per student, with Dana L Lyon Middle School at $28,221 and Haverling Senior High School at $28,796 per student. However, the overall low performance and rankings suggest these resources may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes, and the district may need to evaluate its resource allocation and spending priorities to better support student learning.
