Summary:
The 13620 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Beaver River Central School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Beaver River Senior High School is a standout performer, ranking among the top 15% of high schools in New York, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types.
The high school boasts impressive test scores, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on Regents exams, and a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97%. In contrast, the Beaver River Elementary School and Beaver River Middle School tend to lag behind state averages on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. This stark contrast in performance within the same district suggests potential issues with curriculum alignment, instructional quality, or resource allocation.
The student population across all three schools is predominantly white, with over 96% of students identifying as such. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 46.73% to 52.6%. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the higher ratio at the middle school level may be a contributing factor to its weaker academic performance compared to the high school, which receives significantly more funding per student.
