Summary

Hicksville High School is a public high school serving 1,866 students in grades 9-12 in Hicksville, New York. The school is part of the Hicksville Union Free School District, which is ranked 433 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hicksville High School has several academic strengths, including consistently performing above the state average in Regents exams for subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Global History and Geography. The school also has particularly strong performance among its African American and Asian student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 50% of New York high schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school faces challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 21.6% to 34.1% in recent years. Additionally, Hicksville High School's four-year graduation rate of 84-89% is on par with the state average, but its dropout rate of 2-4.9% is slightly higher.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Plainview-Old Bethpage/JFK High School, Jericho Senior High School, and Bethpage Senior High School, Hicksville High School lags behind in several key metrics, such as Regents exam proficiency rates, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. This suggests the school could benefit from learning best practices from its higher-performing neighbors. Additionally, Hicksville High School has a relatively high percentage of students (37-49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's higher chronic absenteeism and dropout rates and could be an area to focus on for targeted support and interventions.
