Summary:
The city of Seneca Falls, New York is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the schools, with Mynderse Academy (the high school) standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the elementary and middle schools struggle with low state assessment scores and lower ratings from SchoolDigger.
Mynderse Academy is the clear standout, ranking in the top 35% of New York high schools with impressive test scores, a high graduation rate, and relatively low dropout rate. In contrast, Seneca Falls Middle School performs well on some Regents exams but ranks in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, struggling with state assessment scores in English Language Arts and Math.
The data also reveals socioeconomic challenges, with the elementary and middle schools serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates. This suggests that addressing these socioeconomic factors could be key to improving outcomes across the Seneca Falls Central School District. Overall, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the performance disparities between the high school and the lower-grade schools in Seneca Falls.
