Summary:
The Parishville-Hopkinton Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Parishville-Hopkinton Elementary School and Parishville-Hopkinton Junior-Senior High School. While the junior-senior high school demonstrates stronger performance on Regents exams, the elementary school faces declining proficiency rates, particularly in the upper grades.
The data shows that Parishville-Hopkinton Elementary School struggles with proficiency, especially in higher grade levels, with 6th grade ELA and Math proficiency below 20%. In contrast, the junior-senior high school performs better on Regents exams, with several subjects exceeding 70% proficiency. The junior-senior high school also maintains a higher 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though the dropout rate is still 4.9%.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a focus on resource allocation and small class sizes. However, the data does not directly correlate these factors with improved student outcomes, as the elementary school still faces challenges. Addressing the socioeconomic factors, such as the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school, and identifying the root causes of the proficiency challenges could be important next steps for the district.
