Oxford Academy And Central School District

The Oxford Academy And Central School District in New York operates three schools: Oxford Academy Primary School, Oxford Academy Middle School, and Oxford Academy High School. While the high school stands out as a strong performer, the lower grade levels face more significant challenges, with lower test scores and rankings compared to state averages.

Oxford Academy High School is the district's standout, ranking 389 out of 1,242 New York high schools and achieving a 84.3% four-year graduation rate. The school outperformed the district and state on several Regents exams, including Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Common Core English Language Arts. In contrast, Oxford Academy Middle School and Oxford Academy Primary School have lower rankings and test scores, suggesting a disparity in performance across the district.

The data also reveals significant differences in resource allocation, with the high school spending $28,410 per student compared to $15,949 and $19,239 at the primary and middle schools, respectively. This suggests the district may be prioritizing resources at the high school level, which could contribute to its stronger performance. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rates at the lower grade levels may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement, highlighting the need for the district to address equity concerns across all its schools.
