Summary:
The Byron-Bergen Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. This school has consistently performed above average compared to other high schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past two school years.
Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School boasts a strong academic record, with a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of just 4.5%, both of which are better than the state averages. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is also generally strong, with many subject areas exceeding the state's proficiency rates. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 188 out of 1,242 schools in 2023-2024 to 455 out of 1,234 schools in 2024-2025, which could indicate that the school's performance is not keeping pace with improvements at other schools in the state.
Despite its strong academic performance, the school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's relatively high spending per student ($29,402) suggests it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Overall, Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School appears to be a high-performing school within the Byron-Bergen Central School District, providing a quality education to its diverse student population.
