Summary:
The Mineola Union Free School District in New York is home to a single high school, Mineola High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, it faces challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and boosting proficiency rates in certain subject areas.
Mineola High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 465 out of 1,190 schools in 2021-2022 to 531 out of 1,242 schools in 2023-2024, indicating that its performance may be slipping compared to other schools in New York. The school's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests average performance, and its 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average. However, the school's dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, Mineola High School excels in certain subject areas, such as Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History, with proficiency rates above the state averages. However, the school struggles in others, particularly in 8th grade ELA and Science, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages. Despite the school's mixed performance, it has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state averages, suggesting that the school may have the resources to support student learning, but there may be opportunities to optimize the use of these resources.
