Summary:

Kenmore Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Kenmore, NY, which is part of the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District. The school's overall performance is below average, ranking 853 out of 1,242 New York high schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenmore Junior-Senior High School's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates on New York State Assessments and Regents exams that fall short. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well (ranking 88th out of 865 high schools) but White students performing much worse (ranking 661st out of 781 high schools). Additionally, the school's lower ranking for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds suggests potential equity concerns that need to be addressed.

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.
