Summary

Bolivar-Richburg Junior-Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in the Bolivar-Richburg Central School District, with around 350 students. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with proficiency rates below the state average on state assessments and Regents exams.

The school faces several challenges, including a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average and a higher-than-average dropout rate. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a chronic absenteeism rate significantly higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, such as Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School, Cuba-Rushford High School, and Portville Junior-Senior High School, Bolivar-Richburg Junior-Senior High School appears to be underperforming, despite having relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio.

To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on improving instructional practices, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, and implementing targeted interventions to support economically disadvantaged and underperforming student subgroups. Collaboration with nearby high-performing schools could also provide valuable insights and strategies for improvement.
