Summary:
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Lindenhurst Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 416 and 517 out of 1,228 to 1,242 New York high schools over the past three school years, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lindenhurst Senior High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate was 4.5%, higher than the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on Regents exams varies across subject areas, with some subjects like Algebra II, Global History, and U.S. History performing above the state average, while others like Geometry and Algebra I performing below the state average. The school's performance on the Regents/Common Core Algebra I exam has been particularly low, with only 13.56% of students proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 31.42%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $20,387 and lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, the school's academic performance is still mixed, suggesting that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to drive significant improvements. The district may need to examine how these resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning more effectively, as well as address the underlying issues contributing to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate.
