Best Public Schools in Lockport, NY

Summary:

The city of Lockport, New York is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance and student demographics between the Starpoint Central School District and the Lockport City School District.

Starpoint High School stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 46th out of 1,228 high schools in New York state. It boasts a 97.7% four-year graduation rate and only 15.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Lockport High School has a 91.1% graduation rate and a 41.3% chronic absenteeism rate. The data suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes, as schools with higher percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and academic performance.

The performance gap extends to the middle school level, with Starpoint Middle School ranking 216th out of 1,500 middle schools in New York and consistently outperforming the state and district averages on assessments. This indicates that students entering high school at Lockport High School are less academically prepared compared to their peers at Starpoint High School. The wide range in spending per student, from $11,548 at Regan Intermediate School to $19,977 at Aaron Mossell Junior High School, suggests potential funding disparities that may contribute to the observed performance differences.
