Summary:
The Elmira Heights Central School District in New York operates three schools: Cohen Elementary School, Thomas A Edison High School, and Cohen Middle School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges.
Thomas A Edison High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 487 out of 1,228 New York high schools and boasting a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.1% and a lower dropout rate of 4.2% compared to the other schools. In contrast, the district's elementary and middle schools generally underperform the state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
However, Cohen Middle School is a bright spot, outperforming the district and state averages in 8th grade science proficiency, with 66.67% of students proficient or better, compared to 65.52% for the district and 47.41% for the state. This suggests that the district may have an opportunity to build upon its strengths in science education and potentially apply similar strategies to improve performance in other subject areas.
