Bath Central School District

The Bath Central School District in New York serves students from three schools: Dana L. Lyon Middle School, Vernon E. Wightman Primary School, and Haverling Senior High School. While the district and its schools generally underperform the state averages on ELA and Math assessments, Haverling Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 508 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Haverling Senior High School boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. The school also demonstrates strong performance on Regents exams, with several subjects having over 80% proficiency rates. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle to match the state's performance on these assessments. However, all three schools in the Bath Central School District have high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 56.53% to 58.83%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population.

Despite the district's underperformance on state assessments, the schools in the Bath Central School District appear to invest heavily in their students, with higher-than-average spending per student (between $16,847 and $17,953) and relatively small class sizes (student-teacher ratios ranging from 10.1 to 12.8). These factors may contribute to the standout performance of Haverling Senior High School and the district's efforts to support its economically disadvantaged student population.
