North Collins Central School District

The North Collins Central School District is home to two schools: North Collins Elementary School and North Collins Junior-Senior High School. While the junior-senior high school is a standout performer, the elementary school has struggled, with lower rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average.

The data reveals a significant difference in the academic performance and overall quality between the two schools. North Collins Junior-Senior High School has consistently ranked highly in the state, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year and a 5-star rating in 2018-2019. The school also has a strong 92.1% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 5.2% dropout rate. In contrast, North Collins Elementary School has only received 2 stars from SchoolDigger in the past three years, indicating a need for improvement.

The data also suggests potential equity concerns, as both schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low representation of minority groups. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to the demographic makeup and academic disparities could provide valuable insights for the district. Additionally, the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at the junior-senior high school compared to the elementary school may be a contributing factor to the school's stronger performance, highlighting the importance of equitable resource allocation across the district.
