Summary:
The city of Coxsackie, New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Coxsackie-Athens Central School District. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, there are some standout schools and bright spots worth highlighting.
Coxsackie-Athens High School stands out with a strong 92.6% 4-year graduation rate and relatively small class sizes, though its performance on Regents exams is mixed. In contrast, Coxsackie-Athens Middle School excels in certain subject areas like Algebra I and Earth Science, but struggles with state ELA and Math assessments, potentially due to its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Coxsackie Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, but its academic performance is generally below state averages.
Across the district, there are signs of systemic challenges, with all three schools underperforming compared to state standards in various areas. Socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the lower academic performance. However, the district does show strengths in specific subject areas, and identifying and building upon these strengths could be a valuable strategy for improvement. The declining SchoolDigger ratings for the high school and middle school also warrant further investigation to address the underlying factors behind this concerning trend.
