Summary:

Harpursville Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Harpursville Central School District, located approximately 16 miles from Binghamton, New York. With a student population of 269, the school has a predominantly White racial makeup, with over 93% of students identifying as such.

Harpursville Junior-Senior High School stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.9% to 93.4% over the past five years, which are notably higher than the graduation rates of nearby schools like Binghamton High School (76.3%) and Afton Junior/Senior High School (85.7%). The school also generally performs better than the state average on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Earth Science, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school lags behind the state average in English Language Arts and Math assessments for 7th and 8th grades.

While Harpursville Junior-Senior High School spends significantly more per student ($20,562 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and many nearby schools, it maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 8.3, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school faces challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.3% and a higher proportion of students (over 55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher percentage of students from low-income families. When compared to higher-performing schools in the region, like Chenango Forks High School and Greene High School, Harpursville Junior-Senior High School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting the need for continued focus on addressing areas of concern while maintaining the school's strengths.

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.
