Best Public Schools in Alden, NY

Summary:

The Alden, New York school district consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Based on the available data, Alden Senior High School stands out as the top performer in the district, with consistently high proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams that far exceed state averages. In contrast, Alden Middle School appears to be the weakest link, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the other schools in the Alden Central School District.

Alden Senior High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking it among the top 25% of high schools in New York state. The school has a strong 84.3% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.9% dropout rate. Its Regents/Common Core proficiency rates range from 63% to 97%, significantly higher than the state averages. In contrast, Alden Middle School has only a 2-star rating, placing it in the bottom 50% of New York middle schools.

The district as a whole spends more per student at the middle and high school levels compared to the elementary schools, which may reflect a prioritization of resources for older students. However, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools (25-30%) suggest the district serves a student population with significant economic challenges, an important factor to consider when evaluating the schools' performance. Overall, the data indicates a school district with a strong high school but room for improvement at the middle school level, highlighting the need for continued focus on data-driven decision making and equitable resource allocation.
