Summary:

Deruyter High School is a public high school located in De Ruyter, NY, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Deruyter Central School District, which is ranked 689 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deruyter High School faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, with 90.48% of students being white, compared to the state average. The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average, ranking between 298-822 out of New York high schools over the past 6 years. Additionally, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.2% to 96.4%, but also a higher dropout rate, ranging from 3.5% to 6.4%. Deruyter High School also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 44.7% in the 2021-2022 school year, compared to nearby schools like Homer Senior High School, Fayetteville-Manlius Senior High School, and Tully Junior-Senior High School.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending (around $20,000 per student), Deruyter High School's academic outcomes and student engagement are still lagging behind the state and nearby schools. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (56.55% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), the rural location, and the small school size may be contributing factors to the school's lower performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Deruyter High School to improve its overall outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
