Summary:
The 14437 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Dansville Primary School and Ellis B Hyde Elementary School) and 1 high school (Dansville High School). While the high school stands out as a strong performer, with a 4-star rating and high proficiency rates on Regents exams, the elementary schools face challenges in academic achievement, particularly in ELA and Math.
Dansville High School ranks 349 out of 1,228 New York high schools and boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 86.8% and low dropout rate of 4.0%. In contrast, the elementary schools struggle with lower proficiency rates compared to state and district averages. This stark contrast in academic performance suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to the gap, such as curriculum, teaching methods, or resource allocation.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 92.78% to 94.82%, and a significant percentage of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch, from 50.68% to 61.05%. This indicates that the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may have implications for the schools' ability to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of these students. Addressing the racial homogeneity and socioeconomic disparities could be crucial in improving the overall educational outcomes for students in the Dansville Central School District.
