Summary:
The Brentwood Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Brentwood High School, which serves over 4,800 students. While the school has a relatively low statewide ranking, it faces challenges with attendance, graduation rates, and academic performance in certain subject areas. However, the district invests significant resources into the school, spending nearly $28,000 per student.
Brentwood High School's performance is mixed, with strong proficiency rates in some Regents exams like Algebra II and Physics, but lower rates in others like Geometry and Algebra I. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the norm. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with 31.5% of students missing a significant amount of school.
Despite these challenges, the school serves a high-need student population, with 76.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the factors behind the school's attendance and academic performance issues, while continuing to provide targeted support and resources for its economically disadvantaged students, could be key priorities for the Brentwood Union Free School District moving forward.
