Summary

Paul V Moore High School is a public high school located in Central Square, New York, serving 1,083 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Central Square Central School District, which is ranked 610 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Paul V Moore High School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 585 out of 1,234 high schools. The school's performance on Regents exams is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.3% to 34.1% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significant population of low-income students, with 43.69% to 43.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, Charles W. Baker High School and Cicero-North Syracuse High School generally outperform Paul V Moore High School, despite having lower per-student spending. This suggests that the significant increase in per-student spending at Paul V Moore High School, from $12,743 in 2020-2021 to $28,339 in 2023-2024, may not be translating into commensurate improvements in academic outcomes, and the school and district may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to maximize their impact on student learning.
