Summary:
The city of Warrensburg, New York is home to two schools: Warrensburg Elementary School and Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Warrensburg Central School District. While the high school appears to be the standout performer, both schools face academic and socioeconomic challenges that need to be addressed.
The high school outperforms the elementary school on state assessments and Regents exams, with proficiency rates often exceeding the district and state averages. It also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 86.2%. However, both schools struggle to meet state proficiency averages, particularly in English Language Arts, suggesting a need for academic improvement across the district. Additionally, a high percentage of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population that may contribute to the academic challenges.
Racial composition is another area of concern, as both schools have a predominantly white student population, significantly higher than the state average. This lack of diversity may be an issue the district needs to address. Finally, the high school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6% and 5.8% dropout rate suggest attendance and engagement issues that could be impacting student outcomes. Overall, the Warrensburg Central School District has both strengths and areas for improvement, and addressing these challenges could be key priorities moving forward.
