Graduation, Diploma & Readiness

NY status: Good Standing

Do students graduate, with how strong a diploma — and how ready?

New York reports not just whether students graduate but which diploma they earn and how college/career/civic ready they are. A Regents diploma with Advanced Designation is the state's most rigorous — it takes extra Regents exams in math, science, and often a world language.

What's a Regents diploma with Advanced Designation? →

Every NY public-school graduate earns a diploma by passing Regents exams (a score of 65+). A standard Regents diploma takes the core set. The Advanced Designation adds more — typically Algebra II and Geometry, an additional science, and a world-language Regents (or an approved alternative). It's the strongest signal of college-prep rigor New York publishes for a graduating class.

What are "readiness" and "NY status"? →

College/Career/Civic Ready is the share of students who reached at least New York's readiness bar — e.g., an advanced diploma, a qualifying exam or college credit, a career/technical credential, military readiness, or civic-readiness measures. NY also rolls this into a weighted CCCR Index (0–200) and a 1–4 performance level. NY status is the state's ESSA accountability designation: most schools are in good standing (managed locally), while a minority are state-identified for Comprehensive or Targeted support.

Regents Exam Results

How students score on New York's Regents exams.

Regents exams are New York's statewide end-of-course tests — the state's core academic benchmark, and a requirement for graduation. Below: the share of students scoring 65 or above on each, the score that earns diploma credit (and New York's "proficient" / Level 3+ benchmark).

What does "scored 65+" mean on the Regents? →

New York scores each Regents exam on five performance levels. A score of 65 or above earns credit toward a diploma — and under New York's current framework that's Level 3 or above, the state's "proficient" benchmark (the number shown above). Exams are taken when a student finishes the course, so results reflect that subject's instruction, not a single grade.

Chronic absenteeism

Share of students absent 15+ days
5.6%
Below 10% — strong attendance culture. Chronic absence is a leading indicator of dropout and disengagement; a low rate signals families staying connected to the school.
Students absent 15+ days
68
Federal definition: absent (excused or unexcused) for at least 15 of ~180 school days — about 10% of the school year.

Why this matters to enrollment: A low chronic-absence rate is the cleanest school-level signal of strong family connection, classroom culture, and student engagement — all upstream drivers of enrollment stability.

Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020–2021. Rate = students chronically absent ÷ 2021 total enrollment.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At $40,042 per student in district revenue, the 81 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $3,243,402/year in additional funding.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
