Summary

Spring Valley High School is a public high school serving 1,562 students in grades 9-12 in Spring Valley, New York, which is part of the East Ramapo Central School District. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of high schools in New York, with low proficiency rates on Regents exams compared to state averages.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $32,292 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, Spring Valley High School struggles with academic performance, graduation rates, and attendance. The school's 4-year graduation rate ranges from 59.6% to 84.3%, well below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is very high, ranging from 31.5% to 50% over the past 3 years. When compared to nearby schools like Ramapo High School, which is in the same district, Spring Valley High School significantly underperforms on key metrics.

The challenges faced by Spring Valley High School appear to be systemic, as the school serves a student population with a very high percentage (81.45% to 83.87%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions for struggling students, increased support for teachers, and community-based initiatives to address the underlying socioeconomic factors affecting the school's performance.
