Wheatland-Chili Central School District

The Wheatland-Chili Central School District in New York serves two schools: Wheatland-Chili High School and T.J. Connor Elementary School. While the district as a whole is performing below average compared to other districts in the state, the high school stands out with its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, suggesting the district is able to effectively support students in completing their high school education.

Wheatland-Chili High School has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97.7% and a 0% dropout rate, which are impressive achievements. However, the school's academic performance in ELA and math proficiency rates for grades 6-8 are below the state average. In contrast, T.J. Connor Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of 4th-grade students (47.06%) proficient in math, though its ELA and math proficiency rates for grades 3-5 are also below the state average.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half of the students at each school qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic achievement across the district. Additionally, the district has seen a decline in its statewide rankings over the past few years, going from 4 stars to 3 stars for the high school and 3 stars to 2 stars for the elementary school, indicating room for improvement in providing a high-quality education for all students.
