Summary:
The Lawrence Union Free School District in New York serves 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces some challenges, with several schools underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.
The standout school in the district is Lawrence Middle School At Broadway Campus, which has significantly higher Regents exam proficiency rates than the other schools, with 100% proficiency in Geometry and 37.8% in Living Environment. In contrast, Lawrence Senior High School struggles with a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, 4.9% dropout rate, and 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate, all of which are worse than state averages.
The district serves a high-need student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 70.13% to 93.79% across the schools. This likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes observed, and suggests the district may need to focus on improving student engagement, attendance, and academic support to address these challenges and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
