Summary:
The Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District in New York operates three schools: Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School, Cattaraugus-Little Valley Middle School, and Cattaraugus-Little Valley High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the district, Cattaraugus-Little Valley High School stands out with a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, indicating that students are successfully completing their high school education. Additionally, Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School has outperformed the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Math assessments, potentially due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9.
However, the district faces some challenges, such as the middle school's lower performance compared to the high school and the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools, indicating potential equity concerns related to socioeconomic diversity. The district may also need to address the high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9% at the high school, which could impact student achievement.
