Summary:
The Warrensburg Central School District in New York serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across two schools: Warrensburg Elementary School and Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School. While the junior-senior high school outperforms the elementary school on several key metrics, both schools face challenges in improving academic proficiency and addressing high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School stands out with a higher statewide ranking, a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate, and solid performance on Regents exams in subjects like Chemistry, English Language Arts, and U.S. History. In contrast, Warrensburg Elementary School lags behind, ranking 2,008 out of 2,445 elementary schools in the state. Both schools struggle with proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, where they fall significantly behind the state averages.
The data also reveals differences in spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools. Warrensburg Junior-Senior High spends $37,545 per student, while Warrensburg Elementary spends $31,525 per student. The junior-senior high also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.0, compared to 9.4 at the elementary school. However, these resource differences do not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting a need for the district to address systemic challenges that are impacting student performance across both schools.
