Summary:
The Farmingdale Union Free School District in New York has only one high school, Farmingdale Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages while others struggle. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the state average, it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and potential equity concerns.
Farmingdale Senior High School has a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 456th out of 1,242 high schools in New York. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. The school performs well in subjects like Regents/Common Core Algebra II, Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, and Regents/Global History and Geography, but struggles in Regents/Common Core Algebra I and Regents/Living Environment.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is a significant concern, and the relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests a more affluent student population, which may raise questions about equity and access to educational opportunities within the district. While the school's higher spending per student of $22,584 is notable, it does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and further analysis of resource allocation could be beneficial.
