Monroe NY News

Penfield Senior High School had the highest enrollment among Monroe County schools, welcoming 1,398 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 78.8% of the Penfield Senior High School's total enrollment.

Among the 156 schools in Monroe County, Hilton High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,382 students, while Rush-Henrietta Senior High School welcomed 1,320 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Penfield Senior High School is part of Penfield Central School District, which roughly covers six schools within Monroe County and has a main office in Penfield.

In the previous school year, Penfield Senior High School also had the highest number of students among Monroe County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
