Summary:
The Fallsburg Central School District in New York serves students from two schools: Benjamin Cosor Elementary School and Fallsburg Junior Senior High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both institutions struggle with consistently low test scores, graduation rates, and attendance metrics compared to state averages.
Across the district, test proficiency rates are significantly below state levels, with only 10.81% of 3rd graders at Benjamin Cosor Elementary proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 42.6%. Fallsburg Junior Senior High School faces similar challenges, with just 11.93% of 7th graders demonstrating proficiency in ELA versus the state's 49.56%. The district's graduation rate of 84.3% and high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% at the high school level further highlight the need for improvement.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the Fallsburg Central School District remains one of the lowest-ranked districts in New York, suggesting that the resources may not be allocated effectively to address the root causes of the schools' underperformance. Addressing these systemic challenges should be a top priority for the district to provide a high-quality education for its students.
