Summary:
The Wheatland-Chili Central School District in New York serves students from two schools: Wheatland-Chili High School and T.J. Connor Elementary School. Based on the available data, the district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with both schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories.
Wheatland-Chili High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.9%, which is higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions like Algebra II and English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, significantly higher than the state average.
T.J. Connor Elementary School also struggles with lower-than-average proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in Math and Science. Both schools serve a population with significant economic disadvantages, as indicated by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and lower-than-average student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the investment, suggesting that the district may need to address underlying factors contributing to the challenges faced by its students.
