Summary:

The school is part of the Waterville Central School District, which is ranked 436 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waterville Junior/Senior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average on 7th and 8th grade math proficiency, as well as Regents exams in subjects like Algebra I, Chemistry, and English. The school also boasts consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.2% to 94.2% over the past five years, which are above the state average. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.12%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Thomas R Proctor High School and Clinton Senior High School, which have more diverse student populations.

While Waterville Junior/Senior High School performs well overall, it faces some challenges. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (49.68%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 33.5% in 2021-2022 to 25.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most nearby schools. The school's performance for white students is also significantly lower than the overall school ranking, suggesting a potential racial achievement gap that warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
