Taconic Hills Central School District

The Taconic Hills Central School District in New York serves students from two schools - Taconic Hills Elementary School and Taconic Hills Junior/Senior High School. The district appears to have some academic strengths, particularly in the elementary school's performance in Math and Science, as well as the high school's impressive Regents exam results. However, the district also faces challenges related to economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism.

Taconic Hills Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in 5th and 6th grade Math, as well as strong 6th grade ELA and 5th grade Science performance. In contrast, Taconic Hills Junior/Senior High School demonstrates impressive Regents exam results, with over 90% proficiency in Common Core Algebra II and over 85% proficiency in Common Core ELA.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic performance. However, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is a significant concern that the district may need to address. Additionally, the district as a whole serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 56% of elementary school students and over 45% of high school students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
