Summary:
The West Canada Valley Junior-Senior High School is the sole high school serving the West Canada Valley Central School District in New York. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, it faces a mix of academic, demographic, and socioeconomic challenges that impact student outcomes.
Academically, the school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams varies, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates than others. The school's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is higher. Additionally, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to the lower graduation and higher dropout rates.
Demographically, the school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (50.85%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary opportunities to succeed. Overall, the data suggests that a comprehensive, data-driven approach may be required to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
