Amsterdam City School District

Summary:

The Amsterdam City School District in New York consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the high school and the middle/elementary schools, with the magnet schools in the district outperforming the others.

William B Tecler Arts In Education and Marie Curie Institute Of Engineering And Communication, both elementary magnet schools, stand out with the highest test scores in the district, outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Amsterdam High School struggles with low test scores, high absenteeism, and low graduation rates.

The middle school, Wilbur H Lynch Literacy Academy, demonstrates exceptional Regents exam performance, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. However, its overall state assessment scores in English Language Arts and Math are well below the district and state averages. The data suggests that the magnet school model may be an effective approach for improving academic outcomes in the district, and that addressing the underlying socioeconomic challenges could be crucial for improving overall district performance.
