Massena Central School District

Summary:

The Massena Central School District in New York consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.

Within the district, Nightengale Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School stand out for their strong academic performance, consistently exceeding district and state averages on ELA and Math assessments. In contrast, Madison Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below state levels. The district's middle school, J William Leary Junior High School, also performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and Algebra I.

Despite the academic disparities, the Massena Central School District faces broader challenges, including a high dropout rate and chronic absenteeism at Massena Senior High School. The district's per-student spending also varies, from $13,625 at the alternative high school to $15,749 at Nightengale Elementary, raising questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
