Summary:
The George Junior Republic Union Free School District in New York consists of a single public high school, George Junior Republic School, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 117 students. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 3.7 suggest a potentially personalized learning environment, the data reveals significant academic and attendance challenges.
George Junior Republic School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% falls below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the norm. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is consistently well below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 10% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state's 51.88%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, indicating a need to address student engagement and retention.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $65,985, which is significantly more than the state average, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 87.18% also indicates that the majority of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic and attendance challenges. Overall, the data points to the need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to address the unique challenges faced by George Junior Republic School and support its students' academic and personal success.
