Summary:
The Owego-Apalachin Central School District in New York serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district appears to have a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Apalachin Elementary School standing out as a consistent top performer in the region.
Apalachin Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of New York elementary schools and has particularly strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. In contrast, the district's high school, Owego Free Academy, has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the state average, but also a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. The district's schools generally perform well on Regents and state assessments, with several subjects having proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points above the state average.
The Owego-Apalachin Central School District serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, particularly at Owego Elementary (53.29%). This context is important when interpreting the schools' performance, and the district may need to focus on addressing issues like chronic absenteeism to help all students succeed.
