Summary:
The city of Harrisville, New York is home to two schools - Harrisville Elementary School and Harrisville Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Harrisville Central School District. While the elementary school excels in math proficiency, the high school struggles in 7th and 8th grade math, suggesting a need to examine curriculum and instructional practices across grade levels. Both schools have relatively high spending per student, yet their academic performance is mixed, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.
Harrisville Elementary School performs above the state average in math proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5. In contrast, Harrisville Junior-Senior High School outperforms the state in 8th grade science but falls below the state average in 7th and 8th grade math. The high school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 27.5%, which could contribute to its lower graduation rates.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, which may not reflect the diversity of the broader community. Exploring ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion could be beneficial for the students' educational experience. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in Harrisville, with areas of strength and areas for improvement, highlighting the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
