Pembroke Central School District

The Pembroke Central School District in New York consists of three schools: two elementary schools (Pembroke Intermediate School and Pembroke Primary School) and one junior-senior high school (Pembroke Junior-Senior High School). The district's standout performer is Pembroke Junior-Senior High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 205 high schools in New York state over the past three years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pembroke Junior-Senior High School's strong academic performance is evident across various subject areas, with students exceeding state averages in proficiency rates for subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History. The school also boasts a favorable 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.9% dropout rate, both of which are better than state averages. Additionally, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $18,424 and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 suggest that the district is allocating resources effectively to support student learning.

While not ranked as highly as the high school, Pembroke Intermediate School also demonstrates solid academic performance, particularly in Math, where students exceed state averages across all grade levels. However, the district as a whole faces potential equity concerns, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.71% to 44.75% across the schools, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district may need to explore ways to further support these students and ensure that all schools are providing a high-quality education.
