Summary:
The city of Canisteo, New York is home to two schools: Canisteo-Greenwood Elementary School and Canisteo-Greenwood High School, both part of the Canisteo-Greenwood Central School District. The elementary school serves grades K-6, while the high school serves grades 7-12, providing education to the local community.
At the elementary school, students demonstrate relatively high proficiency in Math, exceeding the state average, but struggle with English Language Arts, particularly in grades 5 and 6. The school serves a high-need student population, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the high school stands out with a strong 92.3% 4-year graduation rate and an impressive 75% proficiency rate in 8th grade Science, well above the state average. However, the high school also faces challenges, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%.
Overall, the Canisteo-Greenwood school district appears to have a mix of strengths and weaknesses. While the high school performs well in certain areas, the elementary school faces academic challenges, particularly in ELA. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools suggest that the district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may be a contributing factor to the observed academic outcomes. The district's investment in per-student spending is relatively high, but the academic results do not necessarily reflect this level of investment, indicating a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the identified areas of concern.
