Deposit Central School District

The Deposit Central School District in New York consists of two schools - Deposit Middle-Senior High School and Deposit Elementary School. While the district faces some challenges, there are also several standout elements worth highlighting.

At the middle/high school level, Deposit Middle-Senior High School stands out for its relatively high graduation rate of 88.8%, though still below the state average. The school also excels in 8th grade science assessments, with 77.42% proficiency compared to the state average of 47.41%. However, the school struggles with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 26.1% - an area for improvement. In contrast, Deposit Elementary School shows strong 4th grade math performance, with 69.23% proficiency compared to the state average of 53.85%. But the elementary school also faces challenges, with low 3rd grade ELA and math proficiency, indicating a potential need for academic support in the early grades.

Across the district, socioeconomic factors appear to be a significant challenge, with over 50% of students at both schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the district may need to explore additional resources and support services to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Attendance and engagement also seem to be areas of concern, particularly at the middle/high school level, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance observed in the district.
