Best Public Schools in Fort Plain, NY

Summary:

The city of Fort Plain, New York is home to two schools: Harry Hoag School, an elementary school, and Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School. While the high school has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools with a 3-star rating and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, the elementary school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state averages.

The data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the two schools. Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School performs well on Regents exams, with several subject areas seeing over 70% proficiency rates. In contrast, Harry Hoag School's proficiency rates range from 19.05% to 57.41%, all well below the state averages. This disparity suggests that the high school may be more effective in supporting student learning and achievement, despite serving a similarly disadvantaged population with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Further investigation into the schools' operations, resources, and other contextual factors could help explain the differences in academic outcomes. Addressing attendance issues at the high school level and exploring the underlying factors contributing to the elementary school's struggles may be key areas for improvement within the Fort Plain Central School District.
