Best Public Schools in Cuba, NY

Summary:

The city of Cuba, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Cuba-Rushford Elementary School, Cuba-Rushford High School, and Cuba-Rushford Middle School. These schools, part of the Cuba-Rushford Central School District, demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.

The standout performer in the district is Cuba-Rushford Elementary School, which consistently achieves high proficiency rates on state assessments and ranks in the top 27% of New York elementary schools. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, the school appears to provide individualized attention that contributes to its strong academic results. In contrast, the performance of Cuba-Rushford Middle School is more mixed, with some grades exceeding district and state averages, while others fall behind.

At the high school level, Cuba-Rushford High School stands out with an impressive 95.7% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.1% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages. This success is particularly noteworthy given the high proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across the district. However, the district as a whole faces challenges in terms of racial diversity, with a predominantly white student population, and potential funding disparities, as evidenced by the wide range in spending per student across the three schools.
