Summary:
The Copiague Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Walter G O'Connell Copiague High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces a range of challenges, including uneven academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and room for improvement in key metrics compared to state averages.
Walter G O'Connell Copiague High School is ranked 677 out of 1,234 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher. The school's performance on Regents/End of Course exams varies, with some subjects exceeding the state average and others underperforming. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (55.49%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $34,264, which is above the state average, its overall performance metrics still lag behind in many areas. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and prioritize strategies that directly address the academic and social-emotional needs of its students. Comparing the school's performance to the district and state averages provides valuable insights, highlighting both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
