Summary:
The West Canada Valley Central School District in New York operates two schools - West Canada Valley Elementary School and West Canada Valley Junior-Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
While the district as a whole is ranked 596 out of 874 districts in New York and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance, the high school stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong proficiency on several Regents exams. In contrast, the elementary school has above-district and above-state average proficiency rates in 3rd-6th grade Math assessments. However, both schools have seen a decline in their SchoolDigger rankings over the past few years, suggesting potential areas for improvement.
Notably, the high school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, there is a notable gap between the elementary and high school performance on state assessments, with the high school lagging behind the elementary school in many subject areas. This could suggest a need to better align curriculum and instruction between the two school levels. The high spending per student at the high school level ($40,454) compared to the elementary school ($27,500) is also an interesting point that may warrant further investigation into resource allocation across the district.
