Summary:

Schoharie High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Schoharie, New York, with a total enrollment of 465 students. The school is part of the Middleburgh Central School District, which is ranked 660 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schoharie High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.55%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Guilderland High School, which has a more diverse student population (70.59% white). The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 124th out of 519 high schools in 2020-2021 to 561st out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023. Regents exam proficiency rates also vary widely, from 0% in Geometry to over 90% in Algebra II and Living Environment. Schoharie High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.5% to 95.5% over the past five years, with a current rate of 86.9%, and its dropout rate has fluctuated from 1.9% to 9.7%, currently at 8.7%.

One area of concern for Schoharie High School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, with 32.7% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 46.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's inconsistent academic performance, and the school may need to address these challenges through targeted interventions and support for students.

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.
