Summary:
The Sewanhaka Central High School District in New York is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, with some standout institutions and areas for improvement.
New Hyde Park Memorial High School is the top-ranked school in the district, ranking 109 out of 1,242 New York high schools. It boasts consistently high test scores, a low dropout rate, and a strong 4-year graduation rate. Floral Park Memorial High School and H Frank Carey High School also demonstrate solid academic performance, with high rankings and strong Regents exam results. In contrast, Sewanhaka High School and Elmont Memorial High School have lower test scores and rankings compared to their peers.
Across the district, all 5 schools share a consistent 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.9%, both of which are above the state average. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. The data also suggests a potential relationship between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with the higher-performing schools generally having lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
