Summary:
The Peekskill City School District in New York contains only one high school, Peekskill High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school appears to be struggling, with a low ranking between 1017-1032 out of 1228-1234 New York high schools and a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Peekskill High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores are generally lower than state averages across a variety of Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.26% in Regents/Common Core Geometry to 57.04% in Regents/U.S. History and Government.
Despite the district's relatively high spending of $29,266 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, the school's performance suggests it is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The high percentage of students (40.27%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's struggles.
