Summary:
The 14869 zip code is home to a single high school, Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12 within the Odessa-Montour Central School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, its performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages and others falling below.
Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High School has a relatively small student population of 298 students, with a high percentage (45.64%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $27,171 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, and it has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 8.9, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
However, the school faces significant challenges, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven academic performance, and addressing the root causes of these issues should be a priority for the school and district.
