Linnaeus W West School

Summary:

Linnaeus W West School is a public high school located in Endicott, New York, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 87 students. The school is part of the Union-Endicott Central School District, which is ranked 669 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linnaeus W West School faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of White students (71.26%) compared to nearby schools, fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 50.0% to 83.3%, and very high dropout rates of up to 33.3%. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 64.1% in 2021-2022, and consistently underperforms the district and state on standardized tests. Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $16,952 to $23,238, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, with a declining statewide ranking and a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other high schools in the region, such as Union-Endicott High School, Vestal Senior High School, and Chenango Forks High School, Linnaeus W West School significantly underperforms, suggesting that the school's challenges are not being adequately addressed by the district-level support. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as high poverty rates, chronic absenteeism, and dropout issues, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve academic outcomes and support student success.

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.
