Summary

Poland Junior-Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in the Poland Central School District, with 252 students. The school has consistently ranked in the top 20-25% of New York high schools over the past decade, demonstrating strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Poland Junior-Senior High School has excelled for female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 10-15% and top 5-10% of New York high schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for male students and special education students has been more mixed, indicating a need to address the unique needs of these subgroups.
