Summary:
The city of Tupper Lake, New York is home to two schools: Tupper Lake Middle-High School and L P Quinn Elementary School, both part of the Tupper Lake Central School District. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide averages across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and school rankings.
Tupper Lake Middle-High School is ranked 712 out of 1,242 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating, while L P Quinn Elementary School is ranked 2,432 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have proficiency rates on state assessments that are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. Tupper Lake Middle-High School has a concerning 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.9% dropout rate, both of which are worse than state-wide averages.
The data also suggests that the Tupper Lake area faces significant economic challenges, with both schools having high free and reduced lunch rates of over 50%. This economic disadvantage may be contributing to the schools' underperformance. Additionally, the significantly higher spending per student at the high school compared to the elementary school indicates a potential disparity in resource allocation within the district, which could also be impacting student outcomes. While the data paints a concerning picture, there may be opportunities for the Tupper Lake Central School District to identify and address the root causes of the schools' underperformance through targeted interventions and community engagement.
