Addison Central School District

The Addison Central School District in New York serves students from two schools - Addison Middle/High School and Tuscarora Elementary School. While Addison Middle/High School performs above the state average on several key metrics, the district as a whole is ranked 748 out of 865 in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.

Addison Middle/High School stands out as the stronger performing school in the district, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, and above-average proficiency on several Regents exams. However, the school still struggles with high chronic absenteeism and low proficiency on the New York State Assessments for grades 6-8. In contrast, Tuscarora Elementary School is the lower-performing school, with very low proficiency rates on the state assessments across all grade levels, suggesting students may be entering the middle/high school at a significant academic disadvantage.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, exceeding 40%, indicate that the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $16,084 to $17,741, raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to investigate potential areas for improvement in the district's educational programs and practices.
