Summary

Silver Creek High School is a public high school serving 294 students in grades 9-12 in the Silver Creek Central School District located in Silver Creek, NY. The school district is ranked 616 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Silver Creek High School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with particularly strong performance on Regents exams in Geometry, U.S. History and Government, and Common Core Algebra II. However, the school struggles in some subject areas like Living Environment, Algebra I, and Physics, where proficiency rates are below the state average. The school performs well for male students and multi-racial students, but lags behind in supporting Hispanic and special education students.

While Silver Creek High School has a graduation rate around the state average and spends more per student than many nearby schools, it faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate. When compared to higher-performing schools in the region like Eden Middle & High School, Fredonia High School, and North Collins Junior-Senior High School, Silver Creek High School has room for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting underperforming student subgroups.
