Sullivan County School District

Summary:

The Sullivan County School District operates two schools: Sullivan County Elementary School and Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School. The district serves a high-poverty student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.

While the elementary school has some bright spots, such as strong 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, the overall academic performance at both schools is below the state averages in both math and ELA. The junior/senior high school, however, stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%. Additionally, the high school outperforms the district and state in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature Keystone Exams.

The data suggests the Sullivan County School District faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in mathematics. The district spends more per student at the junior/senior high school compared to the elementary school, but it's unclear if these resources are being effectively allocated. Addressing the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population will likely be a key focus for the district as it works to raise academic achievement across all grade levels.
