Holland Patent Central School District

The Holland Patent Central School District in New York consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Based on the data analysis, Holland Patent Central High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high exam proficiency rates and strong graduation and dropout metrics. In contrast, the two elementary schools and the middle school show more mixed performance, with some grades and subjects lagging behind state averages.

The high school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and high statewide ranking (top 25% of NY high schools) further highlight its strong academic outcomes. The school has an 84.3% 4-year graduation rate and a relatively low 4.9% dropout rate. On Regents/Common Core exams, many subject areas see over 80% proficiency, and several over 90% (Algebra II, Physics, U.S. History). However, the middle and elementary schools have more variable performance on the NY State Assessments, with some grades and subjects below the state average.

Across the district, there are high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 29.2% at the lower end (General William Floyd Elementary) to 43.8% at the higher end (Holland Patent Central High School). Despite the mixed performance, the district appears to be allocating significant resources to its schools, with high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios. Ensuring these resources are being used effectively will be crucial for the district to raise academic achievement across all grade levels.
