Summary:
The Whitney Point Central School District in New York contains a single high school, Whitney Point Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 536 out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 630 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025. Its performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates compared to the state average, while others are below the state average.
Whitney Point Senior High School has a student population of 379 students, with a relatively high percentage (55.94%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $28,361, which is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting a relatively small class size. However, the school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.3%, which is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 4.5%, which is higher than the state average.
The data suggests that Whitney Point Senior High School is facing some challenges, particularly in terms of student performance and engagement. The school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% for the 2023-2024 school year may be a reflection of these challenges. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the school's overall outcomes.
