Summary:
The Harpursville Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Harpursville Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 566 and 678 out of 1,234 to 1,242 New York high schools over the past three school years, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5.
Academically, Harpursville Junior-Senior High School has struggled, with proficiency rates on New York State Assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in math and science. However, the school's performance on Regents exams has been more mixed, with some subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and U.S. History and Government exceeding the state averages, while others like Common Core Geometry and Living Environment lagged behind. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 4.5%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.57% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $36,092, which is significantly higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3, suggesting small class sizes. These factors suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to address the needs of its student population, but the school's uneven performance across different metrics indicates that there is room for improvement in ensuring that all students are achieving at high levels.
