Summary:
The Syracuse City School District in New York is home to 6 high schools serving grades 9-12. The data reveals a mix of challenges and opportunities across these schools, with some standout performers amidst the district-wide struggles.
Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central emerges as the top-performing high school, ranking 746 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. This school boasts the highest proficiency rates on Regents exams, particularly in math and English, and has a relatively lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the other district high schools. In contrast, Nottingham High School ranks 992 out of 1,242 but still performs better than the district and state averages on several Regents exams.
Despite these standout schools, the Syracuse City School District as a whole faces consistent challenges, with all high schools reporting similar graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the district-wide low performance on Regents exams, with many schools scoring well below the state averages, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement. Exploring best practices from the higher-performing schools could provide insights for improving academic outcomes across the district.
