Summary:
The Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Sherrill City School District in New York. With 594 students enrolled, the school has a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by its 39.39% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Academically, the school's performance is mixed. While it excels in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and Physics, with proficiency rates higher than the state averages, it struggles in areas such as Chemistry, Algebra I, and Living Environment, where its proficiency rates fall below the state benchmarks. 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 norm. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its lower-than-average academic outcomes.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $21,718 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which is lower than the state average, the school's overall academic performance suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning across all subject areas and address the attendance and engagement challenges faced by the school.
