Summary:
The city of Richmondville, New York is home to two schools - Cobleskill-Richmondville High School and Joseph B Radez Elementary School. While Cobleskill-Richmondville High School demonstrates relatively strong academic performance on Regents/Common Core exams, Joseph B Radez Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts and Math.
Cobleskill-Richmondville High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though its dropout rate is still relatively high at 4.9%. The school also faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. In contrast, Joseph B Radez Elementary School is ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school's proficiency rates are particularly low in 3rd grade English Language Arts (30.21%) and Math (29.17%), as well as 5th grade Science (31.73%).
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the two schools, despite Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District spending more per student at the high school level ($20,465) compared to the elementary school ($14,290). This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be at play in shaping the academic outcomes of these schools. The district as a whole is ranked 575 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader challenges that may be impacting the performance of individual schools.
