Best Public Schools in Brasher Falls, NY

Summary:

The Brasher Falls, New York area is home to three schools - Saint Lawrence Elementary School, St Lawrence Middle School, and Saint Lawrence High School - all part of the Brasher Falls Central School District. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the data reveals standout performance at the middle and high school levels.

St Lawrence Middle School emerges as the strongest performer, consistently outpacing district and state averages on key subject areas like 7th grade math and Regents exams. Its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 may contribute to this academic success. Meanwhile, Saint Lawrence High School also excels, with students performing well above state and district averages on many Regents exams, including Chemistry, Algebra II, and English Language Arts. The high school maintains a respectable 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%.

In contrast, Saint Lawrence Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1027 out of 2434 schools in 2021-2022 to 1912 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024, with its star rating declining from 3 to 1 over the same period. This suggests a need for the district to investigate the factors contributing to this decline and implement strategies to improve student outcomes at the elementary level.
