Summary:
The Beacon City School District in New York serves students from 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with some standout elementary schools and challenges at the high school level.
South Avenue School and J.V. Forrestal Elementary School are the district's top-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 50% and 45% of New York elementary schools respectively. These schools have strong test scores, with students outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Beacon High School has a lower statewide ranking, though it stands out for its relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and low dropout rate of 4.9%.
Across the district, there is significant variation in academic performance, with some schools and grade levels excelling while others struggle to meet state standards. This suggests a need for more targeted and differentiated approaches to improving student outcomes. Additionally, the high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district indicate potential equity concerns that the district may need to address to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
