Cairo-Durham High School

Summary:

Cairo-Durham High School is a public high school serving 325 students in grades 9-12 in Cairo, New York. The school is part of the Cairo-Durham Central School District, which is ranked 473 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Cairo-Durham High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years, indicating average performance compared to other New York high schools, the school has consistently ranked in the middle-to-lower range of New York high schools, ranking between 561-680 out of 1,200+ high schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance has been mixed, with female and Hispanic students outperforming their peers, but White and Special Education students lagging behind. Additionally, the school has struggled with a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 34.1% to 39.3% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Saugerties Senior High School and Greenville High School have consistently outperformed Cairo-Durham High School in terms of statewide ranking and test scores, particularly in math and science subjects. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,792 to $23,778 per student over the past 4 years, its performance does not seem to be commensurate with this level of spending, suggesting potential opportunities for more effective resource allocation and utilization.

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.
