Summary:
The 12155 zip code area has only one school, Schenevus Central School, which is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 252 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.
Schenevus Central School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with a significant chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to its mixed academic performance on state assessments and Regents exams. While some grade levels and subject areas perform above the state average, others fall below, suggesting the need for a more targeted approach to curriculum and instruction.
Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 45.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may play a role in the school's challenges and should be considered when developing strategies to support student success. Overall, Schenevus Central School District and the community should focus on addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, improving academic performance, and providing targeted support for its economically disadvantaged student population.
