Summary

Arcadia High School is a public high school located in Rochester, New York, serving 1,023 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greece Central School District. While the school has seen increased funding in recent years, its academic performance, as measured by Regents exam proficiency rates, generally lags behind state and district averages across various subjects.

Arcadia High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 89.0% in recent years, slightly below the state average. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.3% to 34.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Athena High School and Olympia High School, also part of the Greece Central School District, generally outperforming Arcadia High School on Regents exams and having higher graduation rates.

Despite the increased funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Arcadia High School's academic performance has not seen significant improvements. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, may be crucial for the school to provide a better educational experience for its students and improve their overall outcomes.
