Opportunity Charter School

Opportunity Charter School is the sole public charter high school in its district, serving students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, this school is performing significantly below the state average across a range of key metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 1232 out of 1242 New York high schools, Opportunity Charter School appears to be one of the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state norm. Academically, the school's test scores lag significantly behind the state, with proficiency rates in 8th grade ELA at just 48.65% compared to the state average of 51.88%. Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with 34.1% of students chronically absent.

Despite the school's poor performance, it spends a relatively high $28,640 per student, well above the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the school's ability to translate increased funding into improved outcomes for its students. With over 91% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Opportunity Charter School serves a high-poverty student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
