Summary:
The Moriah Junior-Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Moriah Central School District in New York. With 316 students in grades 7-12 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 9, the school faces several challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation.
Academically, Moriah Junior-Senior High School's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally below the state average, with particularly low performance in 8th grade ELA and Math. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state norm. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to its academic struggles.
Despite the district spending $16,635 per student, which is above the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain lagging. This suggests the need for the district to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to better target resources to improve student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school district to ensure students are receiving a high-quality education and are prepared for success after high school.
