Summary:
The Sidney Central School District in New York operates three schools: Sidney Elementary School, Sidney High School, and Sidney Middle School. The district serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.
Sidney High School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 300 high schools in New York and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on Regents exams, with several subjects showing over 80% proficiency. Additionally, the high school has an impressive graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%.
While Sidney Elementary School is ranked lower overall, the school has shown steady improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, moving from 1 star to 2 stars over the past few years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but it has some bright spots, such as 4th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates. The Sidney Middle School has a mixed performance, with 7th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates closer to the district and state averages, but 8th-grade ELA proficiency lagging behind.
