Summary:
The 12404 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 middle schools and 1 high school - all part of the Rondout Valley Central School District. While the high school, Rondout Valley High School, has shown strong performance on several Regents exams, the middle schools, Rondout Valley Intermediate School and Rondout Valley Junior High School, have struggled with proficiency rates on state assessments.
Rondout Valley High School has exceeded the state average on Regents exams in subjects like Algebra II, Physics, and U.S. History and Government, indicating a solid academic foundation. However, the school's graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is relatively high, which could be an area of concern.
In contrast, the middle schools in the district have had mixed results on the New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates below the state average in many areas. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes at the middle school level. Additionally, all three schools serve a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 37.92% to 44.27% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Ensuring equitable access to resources and support for these students could be an important priority for the district.
