Best Public Schools in Fulton, NY

Summary:

The city of Fulton, New York is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with stark disparities in academic performance between the high school and the lower grade levels. While Volney Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, the Fulton City School District as a whole struggles to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in Math.

The data reveals that the high school, G. Ray Bodley High School, has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 74.4% and a concerning dropout rate of 10.7%. Additionally, the school faces high rates of chronic absenteeism at 50.2%. In contrast, the middle and elementary schools in the district perform well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, indicating a need for significant improvement in the lower grade levels.

The schools in the Fulton City School District serve a population with significant economic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.79% to 74.72%. This, combined with the district's lack of racial diversity, may be contributing factors to the overall academic struggles. Addressing these economic and demographic factors, as well as identifying and replicating the successful practices of the higher-performing schools, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in Fulton.
