Summary:
The Coxsackie-Athens Central School District in New York serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district showcases a mix of strong and struggling academic performance, with some standout schools like Edward J Arthur Elementary School and Coxsackie-Athens High School alongside areas for improvement, particularly at Coxsackie-Athens Middle School.
Coxsackie-Athens High School stands out with relatively strong test scores, outperforming the district and state averages in several Regents exams. The school also has a respectable 84.3% four-year graduation rate. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is an area of concern that the district should address. In contrast, Edward J Arthur Elementary School demonstrates some of the strongest academic performance in the district, with students exceeding the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math assessments.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and resource allocation across the schools. Coxsackie Elementary School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, while Edward J Arthur Elementary School has the lowest. Additionally, there is significant variation in spending per student, with Coxsackie-Athens Middle School spending more than double per student compared to Coxsackie-Athens High School. These disparities suggest the need for the district to address equity and ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
