Summary:
The Canastota, New York school district consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools in this predominantly white, economically disadvantaged district show mixed academic performance, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Canastota High School has a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate, but its proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in 8th grade math, lag behind the state averages. In contrast, the elementary schools exhibit varying levels of academic achievement, with South Side Elementary standing out for its low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, potentially indicating a more personalized learning environment.
Across the district, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 41.71% at the high school to 53.74% at Roberts Street Middle School, reflecting the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by many families in the Canastota Central School District. The district also shows disparities in per-student spending, from $16,508 at South Side Elementary to $23,949 at Peterboro Street Elementary, which may warrant further examination to ensure equitable resource allocation.
