Groton Central School District


Summary:

The Groton Central School District in New York serves two schools: Groton Junior/Senior High School and Groton Elementary School. While the schools have some areas of strong academic performance, such as high proficiency rates in 8th grade science and 4th grade math, they generally underperform the state averages in other assessments. The high school has a relatively low graduation rate and a higher-than-average dropout rate, as well as a concerning chronic absenteeism issue.

Notably, both schools have a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, suggesting a lack of diversity in the student population. Additionally, there is a significant difference in per-student spending between the high school and elementary school, with the high school spending nearly double per student. This imbalance in resource allocation may be contributing to the academic performance challenges observed across the district.

Overall, the Groton Central School District faces a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While the schools excel in certain academic areas, they struggle with broader performance metrics, student engagement, and equitable resource distribution. Addressing these challenges could help the district better support the educational needs of all its students.
