Summary

Kenmore Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District, with 156 students, making it a relatively small school compared to the nearby Kenmore East Senior High School and Kenmore West Senior High School.

Kenmore Junior-Senior High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic achievement, with only 36.67% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA and 16% of 8th graders proficient or better in math, compared to higher district and state averages. The school also has lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average. While the school performs better than some nearby schools in the Buffalo City School District, it still faces significant challenges that need to be addressed.

Interestingly, the school's low spending per student ($20,921) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 6.6) suggest that resources may not be the primary issue. The focus should be on improving instructional practices, student engagement, and support services to address the root causes of the school's poor performance, particularly for certain student subgroups like female and African American students.
