Holley Central School District

The Holley Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Holley Elementary School and Holley Junior Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 657 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating, the individual schools demonstrate some notable differences in performance.

Holley Elementary School stands out with relatively high performance on state assessments, with 3rd-6th grade ELA and Math proficiency rates exceeding the state averages. The school has also improved its rating from 2-stars to 3-stars on SchoolDigger, likely due to its high spending of $23,967 per student and small class sizes with a 10.8 student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Holley Junior Senior High School struggles on 7th and 8th grade state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages, despite having a higher spending of $28,312 per student and a 9.3 student-teacher ratio.

However, Holley Junior Senior High School shows improved performance on Regents exams, with several subjects exceeding the state proficiency rates. The school also maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though the dropout rate of 4.5% and the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% are areas of concern. Overall, the data suggests that while Holley Elementary School is a standout performer, the district faces challenges in maintaining academic success as students progress to the high school level.
