Summary:
The Clifton-Fine Central School District in New York operates two schools: Clifton-Fine Elementary School and Clifton-Fine Junior-Senior High School. While the high school performs relatively well, with a higher statewide ranking and above-average graduation rates, the elementary school struggles, ranking near the bottom of New York elementary schools and significantly underperforming on standardized tests.
Clifton-Fine Junior-Senior High School stands out with its small enrollment of 123 students and a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. However, the school also has a concerning 4.9% dropout rate and a high 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Clifton-Fine Elementary School has a low statewide ranking and its students perform well below state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.
Both schools in the Clifton-Fine Central School District have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The district also spends more per student than the state average, suggesting a significant investment in its schools. However, the data reveals a concerning trend of declining performance at the elementary school level, which could have long-term implications for the community.
