Summary:
The Little Falls City School District in New York has only one high school, Little Falls High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 331 students and a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a 58.91% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Academically, Little Falls High School's performance is a mixed bag. While the school excels in subjects like English Language Arts, Living Environment, and Physics, it struggles in Algebra I, Geometry, and Global History and Geography, with proficiency rates well below the state average. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 608 out of 1,242 high schools in 2023-2024 to 638 out of 1,190 in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school has a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite spending more per student ($24,248) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (11.1) than the state average, Little Falls High School's overall academic performance remains below par. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher. These findings suggest that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic and attendance issues facing the school and improve student outcomes.
