Summary:

The Onondaga Central School District consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Wheeler Elementary and Rockwell Elementary) and 1 high school (Onondaga Senior High School). The district is ranked 319 out of 874 school districts in New York, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Based on the available data, Onondaga Senior High School appears to be the standout school in the district, with consistently high test scores, strong Regents exam performance, and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. The school spends $28,770 per student, which is higher than the per-student spending at the two elementary schools. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Wheeler and Rockwell, have more average performance based on the available data, with test scores closer to the state and district averages and lower per-student spending.

The data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the high school's fluctuating statewide ranking, relatively high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the elementary schools, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates. These insights can help district administrators, educators, and policymakers identify areas for improvement and allocate resources effectively to support student success across the Onondaga Central School District.
