Summary:
The Tupper Lake Central School District in New York serves students from grades PreK-12 across two schools: Tupper Lake Middle-High School and L P Quinn Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly white student population, they face significant challenges, with low academic proficiency rates and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism.
Tupper Lake Middle-High School, serving grades 6-12, has a 4-year graduation rate of 76.1% and a dropout rate of 7.1%. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math well below 50% in most grades. The school's high spending per student of $35,590 does not seem to translate into better outcomes. In contrast, L P Quinn Elementary School, serving grades PreK-5, has even lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math, with most grades performing below 20%.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 50% at both schools, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges facing the district. Additionally, the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the schools may impact the educational experiences and opportunities for students. Overall, the Tupper Lake Central School District appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and comprehensive strategies may be needed to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
