Summary:
The city of Sinclairville, New York is home to two schools: Sinclairville Elementary School and Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School, both part of the Cassadaga Valley Central School District. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population, they also exhibit distinct differences in academic performance and resource allocation.
Sinclairville Elementary School has a lower academic performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 46.55% across different grade levels and subjects. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.93%) and a lower spending per student ($14,161) compared to the high school. In contrast, Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School shows stronger academic performance in 8th grade English Language Arts and Science, but a lower 4-year graduation rate (88.4%) and higher dropout rate (10.1%) compared to state averages. The high school also has a higher spending per student ($21,052) than the elementary school.
Overall, the schools in Sinclairville exhibit some concerning trends, such as the racial homogeneity of the student population and the academic performance disparities between the elementary and high school. These findings suggest a need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these challenges and the development of strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Cassadaga Valley Central School District.
