Whitesboro High School

Summary:

Whitesboro High School is a public high school located in Marcy, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 938 students. It is part of the Whitesboro Central School District, which is ranked 258 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whitesboro High School consistently performs well on Regents/Common Core exams, with high proficiency rates across various subjects like Algebra II (95.56%), English Language Arts (94.67%), and U.S. History and Government (94.17%) - significantly higher than the state averages. The school also has a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.3% to 93.1% over the past few years, which is comparable to or better than nearby schools like Poland Junior-Senior High School, Remsen Junior-Senior High School, and Sauquoit Valley High School. However, schools like New Hartford Senior High School and Clinton Senior High School outperform Whitesboro High School in several metrics.

One area of concern for Whitesboro High School is its higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% to 37.8% in recent years, which is a challenge compared to the lower rates at some nearby schools. Additionally, the school's performance for Asian and multi-racial student subgroups is relatively lower compared to other subgroups, suggesting a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Overall, Whitesboro High School is a strong-performing school, but it faces some challenges that the district and school leaders may want to address to maintain and further improve its performance.

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.
