Summary

North Warren Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Chestertown, NY, with 472 students as part of the North Warren Central School District. While the school exhibits some strengths, such as relatively strong performance on Regents exams, it faces significant challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism, graduation rates, and academic proficiency on state assessments.

North Warren Central School's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 70.8% to 84.3% in recent years, lower than the state average of around 80%. The school also has higher dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% to 20.8%, compared to the state average. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with rates between 26.6% and 34.1%, significantly higher than the state average. Proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower at North Warren Central than the state averages, especially in math and science, with projected 2024-2025 proficiency ranging from 36% to 77.27% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to state averages of 46.74% to 59.7%.

However, North Warren Central students perform relatively well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 42.86% to 95% across different exams. The school also serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as indicated by its high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 33.54% to 48.09% in recent years.
