Summary:
The Whitney Point Central School District operates three schools: Caryl E Adams Primary School (elementary), Tioughnioga Riverside Academy (middle), and Whitney Point Senior High School. The district serves a community with a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Among the standout schools, Tioughnioga Riverside Academy emerges as a high-performing middle school, consistently outperforming the district and state on state assessments, particularly in math. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I. In contrast, Caryl E Adams Primary School lags behind the district and state in 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency, which could be an area of concern for the district.
Whitney Point Senior High School maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, outpacing the district and state, and performs well on Regents exams in several subjects. However, its performance on Regents exams is more mixed, with some subjects exceeding the state average and others lagging behind. The district's focus on smaller class sizes, as evidenced by the relatively low student-teacher ratios, may contribute to the success of the middle and high school levels, though the lower per-student spending at the elementary school level could be an area for further examination.
