Summary:
The Gouverneur Central School District in New York operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a relatively high-need student population, with a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Gouverneur High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, ranking 399 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong Regents exam results, with over 80% proficiency in several subjects, and a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the district and state averages. In contrast, Gouverneur Elementary School struggles academically, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools and having low proficiency rates on 3rd and 4th grade state assessments.
Gouverneur Middle School shows more promising academic results, outperforming the district and state on several 5th and 6th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math. The school also boasts 100% proficiency on the Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences Regents exams, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.7 compared to the other schools in the district. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending across the district, the academic results suggest a need for more effective allocation and utilization of resources to address the challenges faced by the schools, particularly at the elementary level.
