Summary:
The Hunter-Tannersville Central School District in New York operates two schools: Hunter Elementary School (grades PK-8) and Hunter-Tannersville Middle School High School (grades 7-12). While the elementary school has mixed academic performance, the high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools and exceeding state and district averages on Regents exams.
The Hunter-Tannersville Middle School High School has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. The school consistently outperforms the district and state on various state assessments, including Regents exams in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. In contrast, the Hunter Elementary School has mixed performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing above the district and state averages, while others are below.
Despite the higher spending per student at the Hunter Elementary School, the data suggests that the academic outcomes do not reflect this investment. The high school outperforms the elementary school on most measures, including test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools may indicate potential equity concerns within the district that warrant further investigation.
