Rush-henrietta Senior High School, Henrietta NY

Original Research by School Decision on Rush-henrietta Senior High School

Rush-Henrietta Senior High School serves students in grades nine through twelve in a suburban setting south of Rochester. The school draws from Henrietta, a town that has transformed from farmland into a regional commercial and residential hub anchored by a major retail corridor and two large institutions: Rochester Institute of Technology and Monroe Community College. The town is experiencing rapid residential growth, with new apartment complexes, townhome developments, and mixed-use projects reshaping the landscape and creating housing demand.

The school's enrollment is mid-sized for a comprehensive high school, with students distributed fairly evenly across the upper grades. Nearly half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a substantial share of families with lower income. The student population is majority white, with meaningful representation from Asian, Black, and Hispanic students, plus smaller populations of multiracial and other groups. Data on students with disabilities or English learners was not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those services.

State assessment results and graduation rates were not provided, so those metrics cannot be described here. The school's academic standing relative to other districts in Monroe County cannot be determined from the data on hand.

The Rush-Henrietta Central School District, which operates this school, has been through a period of heightened fiscal scrutiny. The original 2024-25 budget proposal failed at the ballot by a narrow margin, and the board subsequently put forward a revised plan with a modest reduction, which voters approved. The district's true-value tax rate has consistently ranked among the lowest in Monroe County, and a property reassessment in the town of Henrietta for 2025-26 produced an estimated tax-rate decrease even as the overall levy rose. For families considering the area, housing values have been climbing and the market is active; rental costs are also documented, making affordability a real conversation to have alongside school planning.

The town itself is car-oriented, organized around high-traffic commercial arterials rather than a walkable downtown. Civic anchors include the Henrietta Public Library, town parks, and bus transit through Regional Transit Service. The Lehigh Valley Trail offers a long linear park for outdoor recreation. RIT and Monroe Community College shape much of the institutional character and are sources of employment and educational pathways for some students.

Program offerings, staffing details, attendance patterns, and course access were not documented in the available data, so a prospective family would benefit from visiting the school's website or contacting an admissions office to learn about those specifics.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
