Summary:
The North Babylon Union Free School District in New York is home to a single high school, North Babylon High School. The school's performance has been somewhat mixed, with strengths in certain academic areas but weaknesses in others compared to district and state averages.
North Babylon High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 598 and 624 out of 1,190 to 1,242 New York high schools over the past three school years, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 2 to 3 stars out of 5 during the same period. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, North Babylon High School performs above the state average in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government, but below the state average in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and Earth Science. The school's socioeconomic factors, such as a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 46.41%, which is higher than the state average, may be impacting its academic performance. However, the school's relatively low per-student spending of $11,559 and favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1 suggest that the district may be allocating resources effectively, but there may be room for improvement in how those resources are utilized.
