Summary

Ellenville Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving 695 students in grades 7-12 in Ellenville, New York. The school is part of the Ellenville Central School District, which is ranked 728 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellenville Junior/Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York high schools, typically between 600-800 out of over 1,200 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, with only 52.73% of 7th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 50.99%, and only 30.1% of 8th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 46.74%. The school's performance on Regents exams is also below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from the 20s to 80s depending on the subject. However, the school's African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide, ranking in the top 25-30% of schools.

Ellenville's four-year graduation rate has been around 80% in recent years, slightly below the state average, and the school's dropout rate has been between 4-11%, which is higher than the state average. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 47.5% in recent years, significantly above the state average. Despite spending significantly more per student ($40,298 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources. Ellenville is located near several other high schools, such as Highland High School, Middletown High School, and Wallkill Senior High School, that generally outperform it on key metrics.
