Summary:
The city of Gilbertsville, New York is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Elementary School and Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Junior-Senior High School. While both schools are part of the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District, which is ranked 719 out of 866 districts in New York and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the junior-senior high school appears to be the standout performer in the district.
The junior-senior high school has a higher statewide ranking and rating compared to the elementary school, with mixed performance on Regents exams - some scores above state averages and some below. The school also has a respectable 85.1% four-year graduation rate, though the 7.4% dropout rate and 23.2% chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for improvement. In contrast, the elementary school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages, indicating a need for more resources and targeted interventions.
Interestingly, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with the elementary school having a slightly more diverse racial makeup. Additionally, the junior-senior high school has significantly higher spending per student ($24,791) compared to the elementary school ($16,773), which may indicate a focus on the upper grades or a need for more resources at the elementary level. Overall, the data suggests that while the junior-senior high school is the stronger performer, both schools in the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District face challenges in terms of academic achievement, resource allocation, and student engagement.
