Summary:
The Salamanca City School District in New York consists of 3 schools: Salamanca High School, Prospect Elementary School, and Seneca Intermediate School. The district faces significant academic challenges, with the high school and middle school performing well below state averages on standardized assessments.
Salamanca High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with a relatively high graduation rate and better-than-average proficiency rates on some Regents exams. However, the school still lags behind state averages in many subject areas. In contrast, Seneca Intermediate School struggles significantly, with proficiency rates on 4th-7th grade assessments falling well below 25% in some grades.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Additionally, the Salamanca City School District as a whole is ranked 774 out of 865 districts in New York and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting that district-level issues may also be impacting the performance of individual schools.
