Weedsport Central School District

The Weedsport Central School District in New York serves students from two schools: Weedsport Junior-Senior High School and Weedsport Elementary School. The data analysis reveals that Weedsport Junior-Senior High School is the standout school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 20% of high schools in New York state over the past three years.

Weedsport Junior-Senior High School boasts a strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in most subject areas, particularly in Regents exams like Algebra I, Chemistry, Algebra II, and Global History and Geography. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%. In contrast, Weedsport Elementary School's test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.

While both schools serve a significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges in the district, the higher spending per student at the elementary school compared to the high school may reflect a district-level decision to prioritize early childhood education. The data also suggests that the lower student-teacher ratio at the high school may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
