Letchworth Senior High School is a public high school located in Gainesville, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 263 students. The school is part of the Letchworth Central School District, which is ranked 568 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Letchworth Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 197th to 524th out of over 1,200 New York high schools. The school's performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subjects like Common Core English Language Arts and U.S. History and Government performing well above the state average, while others like Living Environment and Geometry lag behind. Letchworth's graduation rates have also been variable, ranging from 84.3% to 94.1% over the past few years. The school's special education population has performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of New York high schools in this category for the past two years.

Letchworth's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby schools, such as Pioneer Senior High School, Pavilion Junior-Senior High School, and Warsaw Senior High School. These nearby schools tend to have higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better performance on Regents exams in certain subjects. However, Letchworth's investment in resources, such as increased per-student spending, may be contributing to some of the improvements the school has seen in its statewide ranking and Regents exam performance in certain subjects over the past few years.
