Schenevus Central School

Summary:

Schenevus Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Schenevus, NY, with a student population of 252 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has seen remarkable improvements in recent years, particularly in its graduation and dropout rates, while also facing some academic challenges that warrant further attention.

One of the school's most notable successes is the significant turnaround in its four-year graduation rates, which increased from just 5.5% in 2018-2019 to an impressive 100% in the 2022-2023 school year. This places the school well above the state average and is a testament to the school's efforts to support student success. Correspondingly, the school's dropout rate has also improved, reaching as low as 0% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is notably better than the state average. Understanding the factors and strategies that led to this improvement could provide valuable insights for other schools struggling with similar challenges.

While Schenevus Central School excels in certain subject areas and grade levels, such as 4th and 5th grade math, it also faces some academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts across multiple grades. However, the school's Regents exam proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages, with particularly strong performance in Algebra I, English, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government. When compared to the surrounding schools, such as Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School, Sharon Springs Central School, and South Kortright Central School, Schenevus Central School generally performs on par or better in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and Regents exam proficiency, despite having a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students as indicated by the school's free and reduced lunch rates.

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.
