Summary:
The West Babylon Union Free School District is home to a single high school, West Babylon Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star ranking from SchoolDigger, placing it in the 550-577 range out of over 1,200 New York high schools. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, its student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning and engagement.
Academically, West Babylon Senior High School performs above the state average in several Regents exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography. However, the school scores below the state average in Algebra I, Geometry, and Chemistry. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school district's spending of $30,696 per student is also significantly higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved student outcomes.
Overall, West Babylon Senior High School appears to be a relatively stable and well-resourced school, but it faces some areas of concern, such as academic performance in certain subjects and high chronic absenteeism. The school's consistent 3-star ranking and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it may be providing a solid educational experience for its students, but targeted interventions may be needed to address the identified challenges.
