Central Valley Academy

Summary:

Central Valley Academy is a public high school located in Ilion, New York, serving 624 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Central Valley Central School District, which is ranked 656 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Central Valley Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.82%) compared to nearby schools, its performance is mixed. The school has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rate, dropping from 89.9% in 2020-2021 to 85.1% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the 90.7% to 100% graduation rates of surrounding schools like Poland Junior-Senior High School and New Hartford Senior High School. Central Valley Academy also has a higher dropout rate, ranging from 3.5% to 10.4%, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 35.8% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the 15.3% to 55.9% range of nearby schools.

On Regents exams, Central Valley Academy generally performs better than the state average, particularly in Algebra II (98.41% proficient) and English (86.75% proficient). However, the school lags behind the state average in subjects like Chemistry (54.24% proficient) and Global History and Geography (63.92% proficient). Interestingly, while the school has a predominantly white student population, its Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking 168 out of 851 New York high schools in 2022-2023, while white students rank much lower at 607 out of 776 schools. This suggests the school may need to focus more on supporting its special education and low-income student populations, who tend to perform worse on Regents exams and overall school rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
