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 high school is a standout performer, ranking as high as 295th out of 1,242 New York high schools, the elementary school has struggled, ranking in the bottom third of the state's elementary schools.
Harrisville Junior-Senior High School boasts strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Common Core English Language Arts. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is respectable, though the dropout rate of 4.9% is slightly higher than desired. In contrast, Harrisville Elementary School's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is well below the state averages across all grade levels.
The data also reveals potential funding disparities, with Harrisville Junior-Senior High School spending $17,546 per student compared to $12,812 per student at the elementary school. Additionally, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is quite high and could be an area of focus for improvement. Overall, the Harrisville Central School District must closely examine the performance and resource allocation between the two schools to ensure more equitable and effective education for all students.
