Red Jacket High School

Summary:

Red Jacket High School is a public high school located in Shortsville, New York, serving around 220 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Manchester-Shortsville Central School District, which is ranked 604 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red Jacket High School stands out for its strong graduation rates, which have improved from 83.7% in 2020-2021 to 93.7% in 2022-2023, outperforming the state average. However, the school also faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0% in 2022-2023 and a dropout rate that has fluctuated between 2.7% and 6.2% in recent years, higher than the state average. Academically, the school excels in certain Regents exams like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Earth Science, but struggles in others like Algebra I and Geometry, where its proficiency rates are lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, Red Jacket High School generally performs better than lower-ranked schools like Geneva High School and Newark Senior High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Canandaigua Academy and Victor Senior High School. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.55% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may contribute to some of its academic challenges, but its low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 and increased per-student spending suggest a commitment to supporting 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.
