Summary

Saugerties Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Saugerties, New York, which is part of the Saugerties Central School District. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 228 out of 519 high schools in 2020-2021 to 444 out of 1234 high schools in 2024-2025. While the school consistently outperforms the state average in several Regents exams, it struggles in subjects like Earth Science and Living Environment, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average.

Saugerties Senior High School's four-year graduation rate ranges from 84.3% to 90.1%, which is generally in line with or slightly above the state average. However, the school's dropout rate is higher than the state average, ranging from 4.5% to 6.6% in recent years. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male and Asian students tending to perform better than their female and African American/Hispanic/White counterparts. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.2% to 34.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Saugerties Senior High School generally performs better than Hudson High School and Catskill Senior High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Rhinebeck Senior High School and Onteora High School. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $29,630 and a low student-teacher ratio of around 12:1, the school's performance is not consistently among the top-performing schools in the region, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to its academic outcomes.
