Summary:
The Lackawanna City School District in New York contains only one high school, Lackawanna High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data suggests that this school is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state, with declining statewide rankings, below-average graduation rates, and test scores that lag behind state averages.
Lackawanna High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, which is below the state average. The school's dropout rate for the same year was 4.5%, higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across a variety of subject areas, including Regents/Common Core Algebra I, Regents/Chemistry, Regents/Common Core Algebra II, Regents/Common Core Geometry, and Regents/Earth Science.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $27,098 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, the school's performance metrics are still below average. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support the academic needs of its students. Overall, the data indicates that Lackawanna High School is a struggling school that is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.
