Summary

Padilla High School is a public high school in Rochester, New York, serving around 800 students in grades 9-12. Unfortunately, the school is among the lowest-performing in the state, ranking 1230 out of 1234 New York high schools and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Padilla High School's academic performance is significantly below the Rochester City School District and New York state averages across all student groups and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.33% of Padilla students were proficient in Regents/Chemistry, compared to 24.39% in the district and 64.53% statewide. Similar low proficiency rates were seen in other Regents exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, Geometry, Earth Science, Global History, and U.S. History. This indicates systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.

Additionally, suburban schools like Irondequoit High School and Eastridge Senior High School significantly outperform Padilla High School, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Padilla High School.
