Batavia High School is one of ten schools in the state studied by the University at Albany in a report entitled: What makes high schools work: How higher-performing high schools in New York adapt and thrive. In it, the high school is commended for its "state-of-the-art technology."

Facuty are encouraged to use thattechnology to enhance instruction and to take advantage of other professional development opportunties, as well. Collaborative goal setting and use of data to determine progress lead to further refinements in instruction. Teachers examine state standards to find the "power standards"—those concepts that are most important for success in life after school or are the foundation for the next grade level.

Batavia students "consistently outperform" other students in similar demographics, and the school is noted for its "proactive" approach to identifying "at-risk students" and working out programs that can help them succeed.

Philip,

Thanks for posting this I think it is important for Batavia to know what a great asset they have in our High School.
