Summary:
Wayne Central School District has only one high school, Wayne Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and overall performance rating in recent years, with a drop from 298 out of 1,190 New York high schools in 2021-2022 to 466 out of 1,242 in 2023-2024. Its four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average.
Academically, Wayne Senior High School has mixed results compared to state and district averages. The school performs above the state average in several Regents/Common Core exams, including Algebra II, English Language Arts, Geometry, Earth Science, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government. However, it performs below the state average in Algebra I, Chemistry, and Living Environment. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% may be contributing to its overall academic challenges.
Despite these performance concerns, Wayne Senior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and a higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,262. The school also serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 36.57%, which may indicate a need to address the specific needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests that Wayne Senior High School is facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance and overall quality, and there may be opportunities for the school to focus on improving in key areas.
