Summary:
The Cassadaga Valley Central School District in New York contains a single high school, Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates that are generally below state averages, particularly in math and science subjects.
Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school also faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average. These performance metrics suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School has a relatively high percentage of students (56.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 8.4 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $31,479 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district may be allocating significant resources to the school. Further analysis is needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and how they can be more effectively translated into improved student performance.
