High Schools in Riverhead Central School District


Summary:

The Riverhead Central School District in New York is home to two high schools: Riverhead Senior High School and Suffolk County Sheriffs Office. Riverhead Senior High School is the more prominent and established institution, serving a student population of 1,986, while Suffolk County Sheriffs Office is a much smaller, specialized program with only 6 students.

Riverhead Senior High School has a mixed performance on Regents exams, with some subjects scoring above the state average and others below. The school's four-year graduation rate is 84.3%, and its dropout rate is 4.5%. However, the chronic absenteeism rate is high at 31.5%, which may be an area of concern for the district. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is relatively low, potentially allowing for more individualized attention, and 48.14% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Limited data is available for Suffolk County Sheriffs Office, as it appears to be a smaller, specialized program within the Riverhead Central School District. The school's small size and specialized nature suggest it may serve a specific population or educational need within the district, but without more detailed information, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions about its performance and characteristics.
