Summary:
The Wyandanch Union Free School District contains a single high school, Wyandanch Memorial High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past three years.
Wyandanch Memorial High School's performance on Regents exams is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 3.23% in Regents Geometry to 62.63% in Regents U.S. History and Government. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and dropout rate of 4.5% are also below and above the state averages, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which can significantly impact student learning and academic outcomes.
Despite the district's high per-student spending of $36,326, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's performance metrics suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with 81.66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
