Summary:
The Brasher Falls Central School District contains a single high school, Saint Lawrence High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 288 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11:1. While the school performs well on several Regents exams, particularly in science and math, it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and underperformance in Algebra I and Geometry compared to state averages.
Saint Lawrence High School has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.5%. The school outperforms the state average on Regents exams in Chemistry (94.74% vs. 64.53%), Algebra II (84.62% vs. 74.88%), and English Language Arts (86.21% vs. 75.29%), but underperforms in Algebra I (42.53% vs. 56.07%) and Geometry (25% vs. 23.65%). With over 54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact student achievement.
Despite the school's strong performance in certain subject areas, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is a concern and may contribute to the lower proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry. The school's relatively high spending of $29,438 per student suggests a focus on providing resources and support to address these challenges and improve overall student outcomes.
