Summary:
The Groton Central School District in New York serves students from two schools - Groton Junior/Senior High School and Groton Elementary School. While the district as a whole is ranked in the middle of New York state, the schools show some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
Groton Junior/Senior High School has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past year, moving from 820th to 594th out of over 1,200 high schools. The school also has relatively high proficiency rates in certain subjects like 8th grade science and some Regents exams. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is significantly above the state average and may be contributing to its lower graduation rate of 84.3%.
Groton Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from the School Digger over the past three years, ranking in the top third of New York elementary schools. The school shows some bright spots, like 5th-grade ELA and math proficiency rates exceeding the state average, but also faces challenges in other areas like 3rd-grade math. Overall, the Groton Central School District appears to have pockets of strength, but also opportunities to improve student outcomes and address equity concerns across its schools.
