Best Public Schools in Brasher Falls, NY

Summary:

The Brasher Falls, New York area is home to three schools - Saint Lawrence Elementary School, St Lawrence Middle School, and Saint Lawrence High School - all part of the Brasher Falls Central School District. These schools serve students from elementary through high school, with enrollment ranging from 308 to 363 students.

Among the standout schools, Saint Lawrence High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.7% and a lower dropout rate of 2.6%, though it faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4%. Meanwhile, St Lawrence Middle School shines with strong performance in 6th grade math, where 69.12% of students are proficient, compared to 48.07% statewide. The middle school also has relatively high proficiency rates in 8th grade ELA (46.81%) and science (46.43%) compared to the district and state averages.

However, the schools in the Brasher Falls area face some challenges. All three schools have seen a decline in their SchoolDigger ratings over the past few years, and they consistently underperform the state averages in ELA and math proficiency. Additionally, the schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, and high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 58.77% to 67.2%, suggesting a relatively economically disadvantaged population. The district should focus on addressing these areas of concern while building on the strengths of the high school's graduation and dropout rates.
