Belleville Henderson Central School

Summary:

Belleville Henderson Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Belleville-Henderson Central School District, with a student population of 502 in the predominantly White (over 92%) community of Belleville, NY.

While Belleville Henderson has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rate, dropping from 94.1% in 2019-2020 to 87.1% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average, the school's students generally perform better on the more rigorous Regents exams compared to state averages. However, the school struggles with below-average standardized test scores across grade levels and subject areas, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 15.7% in 2021-2022 to 18.1% in 2022-2023. Additionally, a large proportion of Belleville Henderson students (over 59%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Comparing Belleville Henderson to nearby schools, Lyme Central School has a higher 4-year graduation rate (100% in 2022-2023) and lower chronic absenteeism (32.4%), while Sackets Harbor Central School outperforms Belleville Henderson on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, as well as higher Regents exam pass rates. The lack of racial diversity at Belleville Henderson, with over 92% of students being White, may also be a factor in the school's academic performance, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can benefit student outcomes.

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.
