Wheatland-Chili Central School District

The Wheatland-Chili Central School District in New York operates two schools: Wheatland-Chili High School and T.J. Connor Elementary School. Both schools perform below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from the low 20s to the 50s. Wheatland-Chili High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.

Despite the low academic achievement, the district spends relatively high amounts per student, with Wheatland-Chili High School spending $29,111 per student and T.J. Connor Elementary spending $30,331 per student. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need to evaluate the effectiveness of the district's spending. Both schools have also seen their SchoolDigger ratings decline over the past few years, with the high school dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars and the elementary school dropping from 2 stars to 1 star.

Overall, the Wheatland-Chili Central School District faces significant challenges in improving academic achievement, addressing chronic absenteeism, and ensuring efficient use of resources. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the district to provide a high-quality education for its students.
