Summary

White Plains Senior High School is a public high school serving 2,221 students in grades 9-12 in the White Plains City School District. While the school has some academic strengths, it generally underperforms compared to top-performing nearby schools like Edgemont Junior-Senior High School and Blind Brook High School.

On Regents exams, White Plains Senior High School performs below the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Earth Science, and Living Environment, but outperforms the state in Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 90.6% in recent years, which is generally lower than the top-performing nearby schools. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.6% to 34.1%, significantly higher than the top-performing schools in the area.

While the school performs well for Asian and African American students, it lags for Hispanic and Special Education students. The school's spending per student, between $18,437 and $34,102, is higher than the state average but lower than some of the top-performing nearby schools like Woodlands Middle/High School, which spends $45,776 per student. Addressing these areas of concern could help White Plains Senior High School improve its overall performance and outcomes for students.
