Summary

Port Chester Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,572 students in grades 9-12 in the Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance varies across different subject areas, with strengths in Regents/Common Core Algebra II, Regents/Global History and Geography, and Regents/U.S. History and Government, but struggles in Regents/Algebra I and Regents/Physics.

Port Chester Senior High School excels in supporting certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the top 5% to 30% in New York for these groups. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 81.9% and 88.0% in recent years, which is generally on par with the state average, but its dropout rate has ranged from 3.4% to 8.6%, slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.8% to 34.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Edgemont Junior-Senior High School, Mamaroneck High School, and Scarsdale Senior High School, Port Chester Senior High School consistently underperforms in terms of overall state rankings and student performance on Regents exams. Despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $13,254 in 2020-2021 to $27,935 in 2023-2024, the school has not yet seen a corresponding improvement in student outcomes compared to the surrounding higher-performing schools.
