Summary:
The Wyandanch Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Wyandanch Memorial High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with a graduation rate and test scores that lag behind the state average, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Wyandanch Memorial High School had a four-year graduation rate of 84.3% for the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the state average. The school also had a high dropout rate of 4.9%, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, both of which are significantly higher than the state averages. The school's performance on Regents and Common Core exams was generally lower than the state average, with the exception of a few subject areas like Chemistry and U.S. History and Government.
Despite the district spending $15,280 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of New York high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, likely due to a combination of socioeconomic factors and systemic issues within the school and district. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving student engagement, academic support, and overall school climate.
