Summary

Cairo-Durham High School is a public high school serving 332 students in grades 9-12 in Cairo, New York, which is part of the Cairo-Durham Central School District. While the school has some areas of strength, it faces several challenges that have led to a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance on certain Regents exams, such as Common Core Algebra II and Common Core English Language Arts, where students perform well compared to the state average. However, the school struggles in other subjects like Chemistry and Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school's graduation rate, which has ranged from 75.2% to 84.6% in recent years, is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate, which has fluctuated between 3.8% and 12.9%, is higher than the state average.

A major concern for Cairo-Durham High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 31.5% to 42.8%, significantly higher than the state average. This issue likely contributes to the school's overall academic struggles. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Saugerties Senior High School, Germantown Junior-Senior High School, and Catskill Senior High School, Cairo-Durham High School generally performs worse on Regents exams and has lower graduation rates, suggesting the need for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing neighbors.
