Summary

Sidney High School is a public high school serving 333 students in grades 9-12 in Sidney, NY, which is part of the Sidney Central School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of New York high schools over the past 5 years, with strong academic performance, particularly on Regents exams.

Sidney High School excels in several areas, including its performance for Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students, which rank in the top 10% and top 30% of New York high schools, respectively. The school's 4-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average, though its dropout rate is also slightly higher.
