Summary:
The Lawrence Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Lawrence Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 802 out of 1,190 schools in 2021-2022 to 927 out of 1,228 schools in 2022-2023.
Lawrence Senior High School's academic performance is mixed, with some subjects like Algebra II and English Language Arts performing better than the state average, while others like Algebra I, Chemistry, and Living Environment are significantly below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is a significant concern.
Socioeconomic factors appear to be playing a role in the school's performance, as 70.13% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $24,263, the school's overall academic outcomes suggest that these resources may not be translating into effective instruction and support for students.
