Summary:
The Remsen Central School District is a small school district in upstate New York, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade across two schools - Remsen Elementary School and Remsen Junior-Senior High School. While the district has a predominantly white student population, the data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with the high school significantly outperforming the elementary school.
Remsen Junior-Senior High School stands out as the stronger performing school in the district, ranking 175 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school boasts significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 8th grade ELA and Science. Additionally, the high school has a higher four-year graduation rate and a lower student-teacher ratio than the elementary school.
In contrast, Remsen Elementary School appears to be performing below state averages on many academic metrics, with proficiency rates lagging behind the district and state in several grade levels for ELA and Math. The district should prioritize addressing these issues at the elementary level to ensure a more consistent and equitable education for all students. Additionally, the high school's concerning chronic absenteeism and dropout rates are areas that the district should focus on improving to support student success.
