Summary:
The North Collins, New York school district consists of two schools - North Collins Elementary School and North Collins Junior-Senior High School. The standout school in the district appears to be the junior-senior high school, which has seen a significant improvement in its state-wide ranking, now placing 77th out of 1,242 New York high schools. The high school boasts impressive Regents exam proficiency rates, with 100% proficiency in several subjects, and a 4-year graduation rate above the state average.
In contrast, the elementary school, while performing reasonably well, does not stand out as strongly. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are generally in line with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, with a notable exception in 5th grade science where the school's proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average. The district may want to explore opportunities to further improve academic performance at the elementary school level.
Across both schools, the data suggests that the North Collins Central School District is providing a solid educational foundation for its students. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school level may be contributing to its stronger academic performance. However, the district should also consider the potential impact of socioeconomic factors, as both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, and ensure equitable funding and resources across the district.
