Summary:
The Pine Valley Central School District (South Dayton) in New York has a single high school, Pine Valley Central Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and its performance has fluctuated, with a statewide rank between 448 and 510 out of 1,234 to 1,242 New York high schools over the past three school years.
While the school performs well in some subject areas, such as Common Core Algebra II and Common Core English Language Arts, it struggles in others, like Chemistry and Earth Science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% compared to the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's overall academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.9 and a high per-student spending of $34,299, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (45.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and optimizing the use of financial and human resources could help the school improve its overall performance and better serve its students.
