Summary

Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School is an alternative public school serving 451 students in grades PK-12 in the rural town of Cherry Valley, New York. While the school has some bright spots, such as strong performance on Regents exams, it faces significant challenges in terms of chronic absenteeism and low proficiency on state assessments, especially in English Language Arts and Math.

Cherry Valley-Springfield's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is on par with the surrounding schools in the region. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.4% to 34.1% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average. On state assessments, the school struggles, with only 23.5% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 29.4% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 54.1% and 59.7%, respectively. In contrast, the school performs better on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in some subject areas like Common Core Algebra II and Physics.

Cherry Valley-Springfield spends around $30,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to translate to stronger academic performance compared to the state. The school's challenges may be systemic to the region, as it performs similarly to nearby alternative schools in metrics like graduation and dropout rates, as well as free/reduced lunch eligibility. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates could be an important step in improving overall student outcomes at Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School within the Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School District.
