Summary:
The Amityville Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Amityville Memorial High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Amityville Memorial High School does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 963 out of 1,242 high schools in New York for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school faces significant challenges, with a four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.9%, both of which are worse than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Amityville Memorial High School's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is below the state average in most subjects, with the exception of Algebra I, Physics, and U.S. History and Government.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student at $21,069, the school's overall low performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The high percentage of students (70.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the school's challenges. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 students per teacher could be an asset if leveraged effectively to provide more personalized attention and support for students.
