Best Public Schools in Dexter, NY

Summary:

The city of Dexter, New York is home to two schools - General Brown Junior-Senior High School and Dexter Elementary School, both part of the General Brown Central School District. While the high school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating and strong academic performance, the elementary school's data is limited, making it difficult to fully assess its standing.

General Brown Junior-Senior High School stands out with its high math proficiency rates, above-average graduation rate, and stable academic performance. However, the school faces challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may impact student learning and outcomes. In contrast, Dexter Elementary School spends more per student than the high school, but its academic performance data is not readily available, making it difficult to compare the two schools.

The district as a whole appears to face potential equity concerns, as both schools have similar rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility, suggesting socioeconomic challenges. The funding allocation between the elementary and high school also warrants further investigation to understand the rationale and potential impact on student outcomes. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the educational landscape in Dexter, New York, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive analysis to fully understand the strengths and areas for improvement in the district.
