Summary:
There is only one high school located in the Western New York Maritime Charter School district - Western New York Maritime Charter School. This school serves grades 9-12 and is ranked 1182 out of 1242 high schools in New York state for the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 5% of high schools statewide.
The school has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.9%, which is higher than the state average. Proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and Regents exam pass rates are also low, with the school performing well below state averages in most subject areas. Despite higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, the school is still underperforming, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to the school's challenges.
The high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch at 24.39% indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. The consistently low academic performance raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to effectively support its high-need student body. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond just funding and resources to tackle the deeper underlying issues impacting student success.
