Innovation Charter High School

Innovation Charter High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in this area, with a total enrollment of 415 students. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 1080 out of 1242 New York high schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

Academically, Innovation Charter High School struggles, with proficiency rates in most Regents/Common Core exams falling significantly below state averages, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, Geometry, and Living Environment. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is significantly higher than the state average.

The data also reveals that Innovation Charter High School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 87.23% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $23,902 for the 2022-2023 school year is higher than the state average, but the high student-to-teacher ratio of 12.2 suggests that additional resources may be needed to support the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population and address the persistent academic and attendance challenges.
