Summary:
The city of Lake Luzerne, New York is home to two schools: Stuart M Townsend Elementary School and Hadley-Luzerne Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Hadley-Luzerne Central School District. While the elementary school appears to be underperforming, the high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top 301 out of 1,242 high schools in New York state.
Hadley-Luzerne Junior-Senior High School boasts a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 4.9% dropout rate. The school significantly outperforms the state and district averages on many Regents exams, including Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Common Core Geometry. In contrast, Stuart M Townsend Elementary School lags behind the state and district on 3rd-6th grade state assessment proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math.
Both schools serve a student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, over 50%, indicating a relatively low-income community. Hadley-Luzerne Junior-Senior High School also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which could be an area for improvement. Ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation across the district, as well as addressing attendance and instructional quality, could help drive better outcomes for all students in the Lake Luzerne area.
