Summary:
The Northeast Central School District in New York serves three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. While the district as a whole ranks below average compared to other districts in the state, there are some standout elements worth noting about the individual schools.
Webutuck Elementary School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 56.11%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Eugene Brooks Intermediate School has the highest student-teacher ratio at 7.5, suggesting more individualized attention for students. However, Webutuck High School stands out with a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 44.7%, which may be impacting student performance and outcomes.
Academically, the schools in the Northeast Central School District generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with some exceptions like Eugene Brooks Intermediate School's 53.85% proficiency in 6th grade English Language Arts. The district's overall low ranking and the high spending per student at the elementary and middle schools without corresponding academic gains suggest the need to evaluate resource allocation and utilization to better support student success.
