Spencer-Van Etten Central School District


Summary:

The Spencer-Van Etten Central School District in New York consists of three schools: Spencer-Van Etten Elementary School, Spencer-Van Etten High School, and Spencer-Van Etten Middle School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant number of economically disadvantaged students across all three schools.

Spencer-Van Etten High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with a 90.7% 4-year graduation rate and a lower dropout rate of 5.5%. The school is ranked 472 out of 1,228 New York high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools struggle to match state-level proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Math, indicating a need for improvement efforts.

One notable bright spot is Spencer-Van Etten Middle School, which performs exceptionally well on 8th grade Science assessments, with 69.39% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 47.41%. The middle school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates at the high school and the need to ensure equitable access to resources for its economically disadvantaged student population.
