High Schools in Owego-Apalachin Central School District

Summary:

The Owego-Apalachin Central School District is home to a single high school, Owego Free Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the town of Owego, New York, the school has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking in the top third of all high schools in the state.

Owego Free Academy has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its overall excellence. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates on Regents exams, often exceeding state averages. Its 84.3% four-year graduation rate is above the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is lower than the state norm. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is higher than the state average, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

Owego Free Academy's student population includes a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 40.88% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($26,136) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.9) suggest the district is investing substantial resources to support its students. These factors likely contribute to the school's strong academic performance, though the district may need to focus on addressing the higher chronic absenteeism rate and ensuring equitable access to resources for all students.
