Summary

Pine Valley Central Junior-Senior High School is a public high school located in South Dayton, New York, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 204 students. The school is part of the Pine Valley Central School District, which is ranked 679 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Pine Valley's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally below the state averages, particularly in math and science. However, the school performs better in certain subject areas, such as Regents exams in Common Core Algebra II and Common Core English Language Arts, which exceed the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and low socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, while white students and special education students lag behind.

Compared to nearby schools, Pine Valley's academic performance is generally in the middle to lower range. For example, Maple Grove Junior/Senior High School and Randolph Senior High School outperform Pine Valley on state assessments and Regents exams. However, Pine Valley's performance is stronger than some of the other nearby schools, such as Dunkirk Senior High School and Silver Creek High School. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate may be linked to socioeconomic factors, and targeted interventions could help address the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups.
