Best Public Schools in Wolcott, NY

Summary:

The city of Wolcott, New York is home to two schools: North Rose-Wolcott High School and North Rose-Wolcott Middle School, both part of the North Rose-Wolcott Central School District. While the high school performs better than the state on some Regents exams, both schools struggle with low test scores, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, and other challenges that suggest the district serves a population facing significant economic disadvantages.

North Rose-Wolcott High School is ranked 755 out of 1,242 high schools in New York state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 84.3% four-year graduation rate is below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. However, the school performs better than the state on Regents exams in Chemistry, Algebra II, and English Language Arts. In contrast, North Rose-Wolcott Middle School is ranked 1,061 out of 1,504 middle schools in the state and has a 1-star rating, with test scores significantly below state averages across multiple subjects.

Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 56.68% at the high school and 62.39% at the middle school. This suggests the district faces significant economic challenges that may be contributing to the academic struggles observed in the data.
