Summary

Copenhagen Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Copenhagen, New York, with 483 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school has seen steady improvements in its four-year graduation rates, reaching 89.1% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of 75.29%. However, Copenhagen Central School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 34.1% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. The school generally outperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for the NY State Assessments and Regents exams, particularly in math and science. Its Regents exam performance, with several subjects having proficiency rates over 90%, suggests the school is effectively preparing students for college-level work. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $23,536 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic performance.

While the data provided does not include information on nearby schools, the performance of the Jefferson-Lewis-Hamilton-Herkimer-Oneida BOCES, located about 15 miles away, could be an interesting point of reference. Overall, Copenhagen Central School appears to be a strong-performing school, with particular strengths in math, science, and Regents exam proficiency, though the high chronic absenteeism rates are a concern that the school may need to address.
