Summary:
The city of Fort Covington, New York is home to three schools that are part of the Salmon River Central School District, which is ranked 835 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools serve students from elementary through high school and include Salmon River High School, Salmon River Elementary School, and Salmon River Middle School.
Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools in the Fort Covington area. All three schools have relatively low performance metrics compared to state averages, with Salmon River High School and Salmon River Elementary School ranking in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in New York. The schools consistently perform well below state averages on Regents and state assessments across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 6.67% of students at Salmon River High School proficient or better in Regents/Common Core Algebra I, compared to a state average of 31.42%.
The Salmon River schools also have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 68.69% at the high school to 76.68% at the middle school. This suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the schools' academic struggles. Additionally, the relatively high per-student spending at the Salmon River schools, coupled with their poor academic performance, indicates that the district may not be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.
