Summary

General Brown Junior-Senior High School is a public high school in Dexter, NY, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 654 students. The school is part of the General Brown Central School District, which is ranked 366 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

General Brown Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 16% of New York high schools, with a current ranking of 199 out of 1,234 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Chemistry, and U.S. History and Government. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 98.31% of students were proficient or better in Regents/Common Core Algebra II, compared to the state average of 74.88%. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and White students, as well as students with special needs, is relatively lower, ranking in the middle to bottom half of New York high schools for these subgroups.

Compared to the nearby high schools, such as Carthage Senior High School, Indian River High School, Thousand Islands High School, and South Jefferson High School, General Brown Junior-Senior High School generally outperforms them in academic measures. The school's ability to support the academic success of its diverse student population, including those from low-income backgrounds, is commendable. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 34.1%, are a concern and may be an area for the school to focus on improving.
