Summary

Lake Placid Junior-Senior High School is a public school serving 311 students in grades 6-12 in the Lake Placid Central School District located in Lake Placid, New York. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Regents exams across various subjects, including Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government.

In 2024-2025, the school had an 80% proficiency rate in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 75.29%. The school also had strong performance in Regents/Common Core Algebra II (77.78% proficient) and Regents/Global History and Geography (86.67% proficient), both exceeding the state averages. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.0% to 92.3% over the past few years, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 2.5% to 6.8% in recent years. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.3 to 7.1, suggests a more personalized learning environment for students.

Compared to nearby schools, Mountain View Campus has lower test scores across various Regents exams, while Saranac Lake Senior High School performs similarly to Lake Placid Junior-Senior High School, with both schools outperforming the state averages in many subjects. However, the school may need to address the performance gap between different student subgroups and the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.8% to 34.1% in recent years, to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
