High Schools in Solvay Union Free School District

Summary:

The Solvay Union Free School District in New York is home to a single high school, Solvay High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, it also faces several challenges that may be impacting its overall performance and ranking within the state.

Solvay High School's performance on Regents exams is quite uneven, with some subjects like Algebra II and English Language Arts showing strong results, while others like Chemistry and Geometry lag behind the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a potential issue with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past three years, from 710 out of 1,242 high schools in 2023-2024 to 622 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025.

The high percentage of students (59.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Solvay High School suggests that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. The school spends $29,935 per student, which is higher than the state average, but it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, suggesting it may have adequate resources. Overall, while Solvay High School has some positive metrics, it also faces several areas of concern that the school and district may need to address in order to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
