Summary:
The Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District in New York has only one high school, Maryvale High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 475 out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 628 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 2 stars.
Maryvale High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate was 4.5%, higher than the state average. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.6 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable learning environment.
While Maryvale High School excels in certain Regents exam subjects, such as Algebra II, Geometry, and U.S. History and Government, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Algebra I are lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (54.71%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $24,324, which is above the state average, it continues to face challenges in improving student outcomes and overall school performance.
