Summary

Onteora High School is a public high school located in Boiceville, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 402 students. The school is part of the Onteora Central School District, which is ranked 253 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Onteora High School consistently performs well on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the state average in proficiency rates. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 97.01% proficiency rate in Regents/Common Core Algebra II, compared to the state average of 74.88%. The school also excels in Regents/Chemistry (77.78% proficient), Regents/Common Core English Language Arts (83.52% proficient), and Regents/Global History and Geography (85.71% proficient). Compared to nearby schools like Red Hook Senior High School and Rondout Valley High School, Onteora High School generally outperforms them in academic performance.

However, Onteora High School's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.4% to 34.1% over the past few years, is a concern as it is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs, is relatively weaker compared to other subgroups. On a positive note, the school's spending per student has increased significantly, from $27,651 in the 2020-2021 school year to $51,581 in the 2023-2024 school year, which could lead to improved student outcomes in the future.
