Summary:
The city of Retsof, New York is home to two schools - York Middle/High School and York Central Elementary School, both part of the York Central School District. While York Middle/High School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York high schools, York Central Elementary struggles, ranking in the bottom 50% of New York elementary schools.
York Middle/High School serves grades 6-12 and has strong performance on Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school faces challenges in 8th grade Math and Science. In contrast, York Central Elementary School, serving grades PK-5, struggles with low proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math. Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population that may be impacting academic performance.
Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with York Middle/High School reporting a rate of 34.1%. While the schools have similar per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the stark contrast in performance between the elementary and high school levels suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to help students succeed academically throughout their educational journey in the Retsof school district.
