Summary

Unadilla Valley Secondary School is an alternative public school serving grades 5-12 in the Unadilla Valley Central School District, located in New Berlin, NY. The school has 342 students and is part of a district ranked 725 out of 874 in New York, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Unadilla Valley Secondary School has seen steady improvements in its 4-year graduation rates, reaching 93.1% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of 75.29%. However, the school's dropout rate, while decreasing, remains higher than the state average. One significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 42.1% over the past few years, significantly above the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally below the state average, with a few exceptions, such as 100% proficiency on the Regents Chemistry and Common Core Algebra II exams.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Milford Central School, Laurens Central School, and Edmeston Central School, Unadilla Valley Secondary School's performance is generally lower, with higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and better test scores at the nearby schools. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.65% to 59.36%, may be a contributing factor to its challenges. Despite the significant increase in spending per student, from $12,196 in 2020-2021 to $31,961 in 2023-2024, the school's academic outcomes have not yet shown significant improvement.
