Summary:
The Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District in New York is home to two high-performing high schools: Kenmore West Senior High School and Kenmore East Senior High School. Both schools have maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years and rank in the top 37% and 33% of New York high schools, respectively.
Academically, the two schools excel on Regents exams, outperforming the district and state averages in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, they both struggle relative to the district and state on 8th grade state assessments in ELA and Math, suggesting a need to focus on strengthening foundational skills earlier in a student's academic journey.
Despite differences in enrollment, with Kenmore West having 1,358 students and Kenmore East having 1,127, the schools maintain very similar metrics across graduation rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios. This indicates the district is able to provide a consistent level of educational quality and resources across its high schools. Additionally, Kenmore West serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, an important contextual factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance.
