Summary:
The Susquehanna Valley Central School District in New York serves four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with the Susquehanna Valley Senior High School and Richard T Stank Middle School standing out as the top-performing institutions in the district.
The high school boasts a strong 90.4% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average, and the lowest dropout rate of 3.5% among the district's schools. Additionally, the school's state-wide ranking has improved over the past few years, moving from 401 out of 1,207 high schools in 2018-2019 to 291 out of 1,228 in 2022-2023, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the district's two elementary schools, Brookside Elementary School and F P Donnelly School, show disparities in academic performance, with Brookside generally outperforming F P Donnelly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
The standout performer in the district is the Richard T Stank Middle School, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. This suggests that the middle school may be implementing effective teaching strategies and curriculum that are leading to strong academic outcomes for its students. However, the district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools, which could have implications for the schools' ability to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of these students.
