Summary:
The Catskill Central School District in New York operates three schools: Catskill Elementary School, Catskill Senior High School, and Catskill Middle School. The district serves a diverse community and faces socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Catskill Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 347 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an 84.3% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on Regents exams, with over 80% proficiency in many subject areas. In contrast, Catskill Elementary School and Catskill Middle School struggle with proficiency rates in ELA and math, significantly below state averages.
While Catskill Middle School outperforms the district and state on 6th grade ELA and math assessments, it lags in 7th and 8th grade. The district as a whole has a low statewide ranking (613 out of 865) and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges and implementing targeted interventions at the elementary and middle school levels could be key to driving overall district improvement.
