Summary:
The city of Allegany, New York is home to two schools - Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School and Allegany-Limestone Elementary School, both part of the Allegany-Limestone Central School District. The data reveals that Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 20-25% of New York high schools over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School boasts strong academic performance, with students scoring well above state averages on a variety of New York state assessments and Regents exams. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9% and a solid 84.3% 4-year graduation rate. In comparison, Allegany-Limestone Elementary School has a more average performance, ranking in the middle 30-40% of New York elementary schools, with mixed academic results across different grades and subjects.
While both schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with high free/reduced lunch rates, the middle/high school appears to be providing a higher quality education, potentially due to its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests the district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the elementary level to better prepare students for success as they progress through the school system.
