Summary:
The Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District in New York consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves students from the surrounding area, which faces some socioeconomic challenges as evidenced by the relatively high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Within the district, Griffith Institute High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of high schools in New York state. The school boasts strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates on Regents exams across a variety of subjects. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district seem to be performing below the state average on many of the New York State Assessments, with Springville Elementary School and Colden Elementary School both earning 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools statewide.
The data suggests a significant gap in academic performance between the high school and the lower grade levels, which may be related to the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios observed at the high school level. Additionally, the high school faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could be contributing to the performance disparities. Overall, the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District appears to have room for improvement, particularly in addressing the challenges faced by its elementary and middle schools.
