Summary:
The Jamestown City School District in New York has only one high school, Jamestown High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and metrics present a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that need improvement.
Jamestown High School has a statewide ranking between 698-710 out of 1,234-1,242 New York high schools over the past 3 school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, Jamestown High School's performance on Regents exams varies, with some subject areas performing above the state average (e.g., Algebra II, Geometry) and others performing below (e.g., Earth Science, Living Environment, Algebra I). The school's overall performance on Regents exams is mixed, suggesting a need to focus on improving curriculum and instruction in certain subject areas. Socioeconomically, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 81.02% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present additional challenges. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,639, the mixed academic performance and other challenges indicate a need to re-evaluate how resources are being utilized to drive better outcomes for students.
