Summary:
The city of Dolgeville, New York is home to two schools: Dolgeville Elementary School and James A Green Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Dolgeville Central School District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with the high school generally performing better on state assessments and exams, while the elementary school struggles significantly.
James A Green Junior-Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on several Regents exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school also faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. In contrast, Dolgeville Elementary School has consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with scores well below the state average across all grade levels. The elementary school also has a high percentage of students (62.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community.
The data suggests that the academic challenges may be more pronounced at the elementary level, and interventions or support may be needed to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high levels of economic disadvantage observed in both schools may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles, and the schools may need to implement targeted strategies to support students from low-income families. The resource allocation between the two schools also warrants further investigation, as the higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary school may indicate an imbalance that could be addressed to ensure more equitable distribution of resources and support for all students in the Dolgeville school district.
