Red Creek Central School District

The Red Creek Central School District in New York operates three schools: Margaret W Cuyler Elementary School, Red Creek High School, and Red Creek Middle School. The district serves a community with a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Red Creek High School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3%. The school also performs well on Regents exams, with several subjects exceeding the state average proficiency rates. Similarly, Red Creek Middle School impresses with its exceptional performance on Regents exams, particularly in Living Environment, Algebra I, and Life Science Biology, all at 100% proficiency.

In contrast, Margaret W Cuyler Elementary School struggles to meet state benchmarks, with relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, often lagging behind the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance between the elementary school and the middle/high schools within the district suggests a need for targeted interventions and support at the earlier grades to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.
