Summary:

Arcadia High School is a public high school located in Rochester, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,052 students. It is part of the Greece Central School District, which is ranked 734 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arcadia High School faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, ranking between 543 and 837 out of 1,200+ New York high schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on Regents exams is also below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 28-75% across different subject areas. Additionally, Arcadia High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84-89%, which is slightly below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13-40% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also struggles with performance gaps across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with disabilities and from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, all performing significantly below their peers at the state and district levels.

While Arcadia High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other high schools in the Greece Central School District, such as Athena High School and Odyssey Academy, it lags significantly behind higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, like Hilton High School and Irondequoit High School. Additionally, Arcadia High School has a high percentage of students (56-58%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic and attendance challenges.

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.
