Summary:
The Northern Adirondack Central School District is home to a single high school, Northern Adirondack Middle/High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. Located in a predominantly White (98.08%) rural area, the school has an enrollment of 417 students and faces a mix of academic performance challenges and resource allocation strengths.
Academically, Northern Adirondack Middle/High School's performance on state assessments is variable, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.42% in 6th grade math to 94.92% in Regents U.S. History and Government. While the school generally outperforms the district average, it falls short of the state average in most subject areas. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.7% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 10.7% is higher. Chronic absenteeism, at 30.0%, is also a significant concern for the school.
Despite these academic challenges, the school benefits from higher-than-average spending per student ($23,867) and a lower student-teacher ratio (8.4) compared to the state. This suggests that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, though the academic performance metrics indicate that these resources may not be translating into optimal student outcomes. The school's strengths and weaknesses provide valuable insights for the district to consider in their efforts to support student success.
