Best Public Schools in Afton, NY

Summary:

The city of Afton, New York is home to two schools: Afton Junior/Senior High School and Afton Elementary School, both part of the Afton Central School District. While the schools have relatively small class sizes and high per-student spending, they are performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with low academic proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.

Afton Junior/Senior High School and Afton Elementary School both have student populations that are predominantly white, with limited racial diversity. The high school has an 85.7% four-year graduation rate and an 11.4% dropout rate, which are areas of concern. Additionally, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate is high at 38%, potentially contributing to the low academic performance seen across both schools.

Overall, the Afton school district appears to be facing challenges in providing quality education to its students. The data does not reveal any clear standout schools, and both the high school and elementary school are underperforming compared to state-wide averages. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the underlying issues and better support student success in the Afton community.
