Summary:
The Northern Adirondack Central School District in New York contains a single high school, Northern Adirondack Middle/High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it also faces challenges compared to state averages in areas like chronic absenteeism and academic performance on certain exams.
Northern Adirondack Middle/High School had an 84.3% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year, slightly below the state average. However, the school struggled with a 4.9% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school had a concerning 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams was mixed, with strong results in some subjects but weaker performance in others, such as Regents Physics and state Math and English Language Arts assessments.
The school's high percentage of students (53%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests it faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact student achievement. Despite these challenges, the school allocates resources effectively, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 and spending $23,867 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, this resource allocation has not yet translated to consistently strong academic outcomes, as the school's performance has declined over the past three years on many state assessments and Regents exams.
