Summary:
The Williamson school district in New York consists of three schools - Williamson Elementary School, Williamson Senior High School, and Williamson Middle School. While the high school is a standout performer, the middle school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Williamson Senior High School is the district's top performer, ranking 540 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with over 80% proficiency in several Regents exams, and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, Williamson Middle School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 492 out of 1,479 in 2021-2022 to 966 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating.
Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 48.46% at Williamson Elementary School to 57.04% at Williamson Senior High School, suggest a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the district. The district's resource allocation, with higher spending per student at the middle and high school levels, may not be effectively addressing the needs of all students, as evidenced by the declining performance at the middle school level.
