Highland Falls Central School District

The Highland Falls Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with 3 schools in the district. The data analysis reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with James I O'Neill High School standing out as a top performer, while Highland Falls Intermediate School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years.

James I O'Neill High School consistently ranks in the top half of New York high schools, with strong academic performance, high proficiency rates on Regents exams, and a relatively low dropout rate. In contrast, Highland Falls Intermediate School has more mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing above the state and district, while others lag behind. The school has also seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, suggesting the district may need to focus on addressing the challenges faced by students at the intermediate school level.

The data also highlights disparities in student outcomes and resource allocation across the district, with the higher-performing high school receiving more funding and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools. This raises questions about the potential relationship between resource allocation and academic performance, and whether the district could benefit from a more equitable distribution of resources to support student success across all its schools.
