Summary

Andover School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Andover Central School District, with 255 students. While the school has seen fluctuations in its graduation and dropout rates, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 26.3% to 34.1% in recent years.

Academically, Andover School generally performs below the state average on standardized tests, but outperforms its own district in many areas. However, the school's significantly higher spending per student, ranging from $17,669 to $35,955, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, from 7.9 to 13.4, suggest it may have additional resources to support student learning. Compared to nearby schools like Friendship Central School, Arkport Central School, Genesee Valley Central School, Scio Central School, and Whitesville Central School, Andover School generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of test scores and other metrics.

Another important factor to consider is that Andover School has a significant population of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 32.94% to 48.88% in recent years. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the fluctuations in graduation and dropout rates could be priorities for the school, as it continues to work to support its students and leverage its strengths, such as its higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio.
