Best Public Schools in Candor, NY

Summary:

The city of Candor, New York is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Candor Elementary School and Candor Junior-Senior High School. While both schools are part of the Candor Central School District, which is ranked 690 out of 866 districts in New York, the high school stands out as the stronger performer of the two.

Candor Junior-Senior High School is ranked 612 out of 1,228 high schools in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts a strong 96.0% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state and district averages on several Regents exam proficiency rates, including Algebra I, Earth Science, and Global History and Geography. In contrast, Candor Elementary School is ranked 1,878 out of 2,439 elementary schools in New York and has a 1-star rating, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both ELA and Math.

The data suggests a significant disparity in academic performance between the elementary and secondary levels within the district, which may be influenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.5%) at the elementary school. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1% at the high school is a concern and may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower performance on some state assessments compared to the state averages. The district may need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to support student learning and address these challenges.
