Summary

Glen Cove High School is a public high school serving 1,066 students in grades 9-12 in Glen Cove, New York, which is part of the Glen Cove City School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past decade, with proficiency rates on Regents exams generally below state and district averages.

Glen Cove High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 79.4% to 86.2% in recent years, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 4.5% and 8.3%, which is higher than the state average. The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 43.5% over the past few years. In comparison, nearby high-performing schools like Rye Neck Senior High School, Rye High School, and Jericho Senior High School consistently outperform Glen Cove High School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

While the Glen Cove City School District has increased per-student spending at Glen Cove High School from $17,596 in 2020-2021 to $29,159 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance and other key metrics have not shown significant improvement. This suggests that additional funding alone may not be enough to address the school's challenges, and a more comprehensive approach targeting curriculum, instruction, attendance, and support for underserved student populations may be necessary to improve outcomes at Glen Cove High School.
