Edwards-Knox Central School District


Summary:

The Edwards-Knox Central School District in New York operates two schools: Edwards-Knox Elementary School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School. While the elementary school struggles with low academic performance and a declining statewide ranking, the junior-senior high school stands out as the stronger performer, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic achievement between the two schools. Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School consistently outperforms Edwards-Knox Elementary School in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 26% to 48% at the high school compared to just 11% to 37% at the elementary school. The high school also boasts a strong 66.67% proficiency rate in 8th grade Science.

Despite the higher academic performance at the junior-senior high school, both schools face challenges. The high school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9%, which may be contributing to its lower-than-desired 82.5% four-year graduation rate. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with minimal racial diversity, which may be an area for the district to address. Overall, the data suggests that the Edwards-Knox Central School District has room for improvement, particularly at the elementary level, to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
