Summary:
The city of Bergen, New York is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School and Byron-Bergen Elementary School, both part of the Byron-Bergen Central School District. The high school has consistently ranked in the top 20-25% of New York high schools, earning a 4-star rating, while the elementary school has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in recent years.
The high school stands out for its impressive Regents exam pass rates, with several subjects seeing 100% proficiency, and strong student performance on state assessments, often exceeding the district and state averages in ELA and math. However, the elementary school has more mixed results, with 5th grade students outperforming the district and state in ELA, math, and science, but 3rd and 4th grade students struggling to meet proficiency standards.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with the high school spending $18,215 per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.9, compared to the elementary school's $13,464 per student and 10.5 student-teacher ratio. This suggests a strategic focus on supporting the secondary-level students, though the elementary school's lower performance on some metrics indicates a need to optimize resource allocation to address the specific needs of younger students.
