Brocton Central School District

The Brocton Central School District in New York operates two schools: Brocton Middle High School and Brocton Elementary School. While the middle/high school performs better than the elementary school, both institutions face significant challenges in academic achievement and student engagement.

Brocton Middle High School ranks 659 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earns a 2-star rating, with a relatively high graduation rate of 81.2% but also a concerning dropout rate of 12.5%. The school excels in 8th grade Science proficiency, but struggles with chronic absenteeism and underperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Math across grades 6-8. In contrast, Brocton Elementary School ranks 1,753 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools with a 1-star rating, performing below the state average in ELA and Math, though it stands out with a high 5th grade Math proficiency rate.

Overall, the Brocton Central School District faces significant challenges, including widespread academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and disparities in school ratings. However, the district's exceptional 8th grade Science proficiency at the middle/high school level suggests opportunities to identify and replicate successful strategies across other subject areas and grade levels.
