Summary:
The city of Remsen, New York is home to two schools - Remsen Elementary School and Remsen Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Remsen Central School District. While the elementary school has more average performance, the junior-senior high school stands out as a strong academic institution, ranking 175 out of 1,228 New York high schools with a 4-star rating.
Remsen Junior-Senior High School boasts an impressive 85.7% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average, and strong academic achievement, with 77.27% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA and 60.87% proficient or better in Math, both surpassing state averages. In contrast, Remsen Elementary School lags behind state averages in many areas, ranking 1,159 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools with a 3-star rating. However, the elementary school does have some bright spots, such as 73.53% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student body. The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school ($12,035 more at the high school) suggests the district may be allocating resources disproportionately. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23% at Remsen Junior-Senior High School is a concern that the district should address to improve student outcomes.
