Summary:
The Beaver River Central School District operates three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - serving students in the local area. While the Beaver River Senior High School stands out as a top-performing school in New York, the district's elementary and middle schools are struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages.
The high school boasts impressive metrics, including a 97% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.4% dropout rate, significantly better than state averages. In contrast, the Beaver River Elementary School and Beaver River Middle School have proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that range from 30-42% and 27-63%, respectively, falling short of state benchmarks.
The district's student population is predominantly white, ranging from 96.61% to 99.48% across the three schools, and a significant portion of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges. The variation in per-student spending, with the high school receiving significantly more funding than the elementary and middle schools, raises questions about the district's resource allocation strategy and its impact on student outcomes.
