Summary:
The Brocton Central School District in New York operates two schools - Brocton Middle High School and Brocton Elementary School. Both schools are performing well below average compared to their peers across the state, with the high school ranking between 659-809 out of 1,228-1,242 New York high schools and the elementary school ranking between 1,266-1,753 out of 2,439-2,445 New York elementary schools over the past three years.
The schools face significant challenges, including high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, chronic absenteeism, and low proficiency on state assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Brocton Middle High 8th graders scored 37.93% proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 52.38%. Additionally, Brocton Middle High had a 4.5% dropout rate and a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024, both of which are concerning. Despite the low performance, the district is spending well above the state average per student, raising questions about the efficient use of resources.
Overall, the Brocton Central School District and its two schools are struggling across a range of key metrics, with both the elementary and high school performing well below state averages. Addressing the systemic challenges, socioeconomic barriers, and inefficient use of resources will be critical to improving educational outcomes for students in this district.
