Summary

Lowville High School is a public high school serving 370 students in grades 9-12 in Lowville, New York, which is part of the Lowville Academy & Central School District. The school consistently performs well on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the state average in proficiency rates, such as 92% proficiency in Regents/U.S. History and Government compared to the state average of 75.03%. Lowville High School also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 95.2% over the past few years, which are generally higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Carthage Senior High School and South Lewis High School, Lowville High School generally outperforms them in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. However, Beaver River Senior High School, located just 6.86 miles away, also demonstrates strong academic performance and is ranked higher than Lowville High School in the state. Lowville High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 177th to 391st out of over 1,200 New York high schools, suggesting that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond its control.

Lowville High School has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,705 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.6% in 2023-2024 to 31.5% in the same year, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Despite these challenges, Lowville High School remains a well-performing public high school that consistently excels in academic achievement, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance.
