Summary:
The city of Watervliet, New York is home to two public schools: Watervliet Junior-Senior High School and Watervliet Elementary School, both part of the Watervliet City School District. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across several key metrics.
Both Watervliet schools have significantly lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates than the state average. Their students also score well below state proficiency levels on English Language Arts and Math assessments, as well as on Regents exams at the high school level. Additionally, the schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The Watervliet schools also face challenges in terms of funding and resources, with per-student spending below the state average. This may contribute to the schools' struggles to provide the necessary support and interventions for their students. Overall, the data suggests that the Watervliet school district is facing systemic challenges in delivering a high-quality education to its students, and targeted efforts to address these issues may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
