Summary:
The Marlboro Central School District in New York operates three schools serving grades K-12: Marlboro Elementary School, Marlboro Central High School, and Marlboro Middle School. The district has a diverse student population and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic need within the community.
Marlboro Central High School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 336 out of 1,228 New York high schools with a 4-star rating. It boasts an impressive 94.1% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 3.2% dropout rate. Marlboro Middle School also performs well, with 74.38% of 8th graders proficient or better in Science, significantly higher than the state average of 47.41%. The middle school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6.
In contrast, Marlboro Elementary School has mixed academic performance, with 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math scores below the state averages. This suggests a need to focus on improving elementary-level performance to better prepare students for success in the later grades. The district's consistent resource allocation and demographic composition across the three schools indicate a unified approach, but the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level is an area of concern that requires further investigation and intervention.
