Red Creek High School

Summary:

Red Creek High School is a public high school serving 245 students in grades 9-12 in the rural town of Red Creek, New York. The school is part of the Red Creek Central School District, which is ranked 610 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Red Creek High School has some bright spots, such as above-average performance in certain Regents exams, the school is facing several challenges. Its four-year graduation rate has declined from 88% in 2019-2020 to 82.1% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and many nearby schools like Oswego High School and Lyons Senior High School. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has risen sharply from 6.9% in 2018-2019 to 16% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and most neighboring districts.

Another area of concern is Red Creek High School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4% in 2022-2023, which is above the state average and most nearby schools. The school also has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 94.29% of students identifying as white, in contrast to the more diverse student bodies of surrounding districts like Oswego City School District and Lyons Central School District. Additionally, 47.35% of Red Creek High School students come from low-income families, which may contribute 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.
