Summary:
The Oxford Academy And Central School District in New York consists of three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district serves a mix of students, with a significant proportion eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Among the standout schools, Oxford Academy High School stands out with its impressive performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Physics. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though the dropout rate is still 4.5%. In contrast, the Oxford Academy Middle School and Oxford Academy Primary School generally underperform compared to state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency on state assessments.
The data suggests a potential disparity in resource allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student ($40,219) compared to the elementary ($21,983) and middle ($25,089) schools. This may indicate a focus on supporting high school students, potentially at the expense of earlier interventions. Additionally, the high school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% could be a contributing factor to its lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate. Overall, the district faces challenges in ensuring equitable access to resources and support for its economically disadvantaged student population across all grade levels.
