Best Public Schools in Silver Creek, NY

Summary:

The Silver Creek school district in New York consists of three schools: Silver Creek Elementary School, Silver Creek High School, and Silver Creek Middle School. While the schools share some similarities, such as a majority white student population and high rates of free/reduced lunch, they also exhibit notable differences in academic performance and resource allocation.

Silver Creek Elementary School stands out for its strong math proficiency, outperforming the district and state averages. This could be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, which may contribute to more personalized instruction. In contrast, Silver Creek Middle School and Silver Creek High School lag behind in both ELA and math proficiency, suggesting a need to investigate factors contributing to this performance gap.

Silver Creek High School has the highest ranking among the three schools, with a 88.4% four-year graduation rate that exceeds the district and state averages. However, it also has a relatively high 8.9% dropout rate, which may warrant further exploration. Additionally, the data reveals an imbalance in resource allocation, with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the secondary schools compared to the elementary school. Ensuring equitable distribution of resources across all grade levels could be crucial for supporting student success throughout the Silver Creek Central School District.
