Best Public Schools in Carthage, NY

Summary:

The Carthage, New York school district consists of 4 schools serving grades K-12, including Carthage Middle School, Carthage Senior High School, Carthage Elementary School, and West Carthage Elementary School. The district faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, but also has several strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.

Carthage Senior High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 540 out of 1,228 New York high schools and boasting a 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%, which is higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, suggesting a need to focus on improving academic achievement at the lower grades.

Across the district, the schools have a diverse student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.83% to 62.96%. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to state averages. However, the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, especially at West Carthage Elementary School, could be a strength that helps offset these challenges. Overall, the Carthage Central School District has room for improvement, but also possesses some key assets that could be leveraged to drive better outcomes for students.
