Summary

Hoosic Valley Junior Senior High School is an alternative public school in Schaghticoke, NY, serving grades 2-12 with a total enrollment of 372 students. The school is part of the Hoosic Valley Central School District, which is ranked 638 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoosic Valley Junior Senior High School faces significant challenges, with fluctuating four-year graduation rates ranging from 84.3% to 90.5% in recent years, generally lower than the state average. The school also has a higher dropout rate, ranging from 4.0% to 5.1%, and a concerning chronic absenteeism problem, with rates ranging from 23.5% to 34.1%, much higher than the state average. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 20% to 80% depending on the subject and grade level.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Nurses Middle College Charter High School-Capital Region, KIPP Troy Preparatory Charter School, and Heatly School, also struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively low graduation rates compared to state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Hoosic Valley Junior Senior High School are not unique and may be indicative of broader issues in the region. The school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $14,529 in 2020-2021 to $28,451 in 2023-2024, but it is unclear if this increased spending has translated into improved student outcomes.
