Summary:
The Northeast Central School District in New York operates three schools: Eugene Brooks Intermediate School, Webutuck Elementary School, and Webutuck High School. While the district faces significant challenges in improving academic performance, there are some bright spots worth highlighting.
Eugene Brooks Intermediate School has consistently low rankings, placing in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools. However, the school shows strong performance in certain Regents exams, such as Living Environment and Algebra I. In contrast, Webutuck High School maintains a 2-star rating and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, but also a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. The high school's Regents exam performance is mixed, with some subjects like Chemistry and Global History and Geography showing stronger results.
Across the district, the schools generally underperform the state averages on both ELA and Math assessments, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the New York state averages. Additionally, the schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.11% at Webutuck Elementary to 57.44% at Webutuck High School, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. The district will need to address these challenges and leverage the identified strengths to drive meaningful improvements in educational outcomes for its students.
