All week long the local press was inundated with stories regarding Business First's annual school district rankings. It was a lead-in to the issuance of their 140 page "Guide To Western New York Schools" which offers detailed analyses for each and every district. I received a copy in yesterday's mail.
Here's how our school stands in regard to some of the various criteria...
Rank: 58 out of 97 districts, putting us in the 40.6 percentile. We've slipped a little, last year we were in 57th place. But, we have improved over the long-haul: during the past ten years we've ranged from 57th to 88th
Local comparison: Roy-Hart is ranked 9th among 10 Niagara County school districts
Graduates earning regents degrees with advanced designations: Only 34.9%, putting Roy-Hart in 75th place
Best subject: English. 37 out of 97
Worst subject: Social studies. 74th place
Achievement index: Our school is labeled as a "large underachiever". This means that our students perform worse than what the community's socioeconomic profile predicts
Some of the supplemental info they provided....
Pupil-teacher ratio: 12.2 percent
Spending per pupil: $13,565
