Summary

Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Richfield Springs Central School District. The school has 191 students and is located in Richfield Springs, NY, a district ranked 473 out of 874 in New York and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School has seen steady improvements in its graduation and dropout rates. The school's four-year graduation rate increased from 84.3% in 2022-2023 to 91.4% in 2023-2024, surpassing the state average. Similarly, the dropout rate declined from 7.1% to 2.8% over the same period, putting the school below the state average. However, the school continues to struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.0% to 34.1% over the past two years, which is a significant concern. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state in some subject areas but underperforming in others.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sharon Springs Central School, Utica Academy Of Science Charter School, and Milford Central School, Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of graduation rates and dropout rates. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are consistently higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from $11,696 to $30,056, which may impact its ability to provide consistent and high-quality educational resources and support for its students.
