Best Public Schools in Hamburg, NY

Summary:

The city of Hamburg, New York is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students across the Frontier Central School District and the Hamburg Central School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with Hamburg High School and Cloverbank Elementary School standing out as top performers in the region.

Hamburg High School is the highest-ranked high school in the area, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a 95.2% four-year graduation rate, the best among the high schools. It also has the lowest dropout rate at 1.2% and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.2%. In contrast, Frontier Middle School and Frontier Senior High School have lower graduation rates and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates compared to their Hamburg counterparts.

Among the elementary schools, Cloverbank Elementary School stands out, ranking 677 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages on ELA and math proficiency tests. However, other elementary schools, such as Union Pleasant Avenue Elementary School, have struggled to match this level of academic performance. The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, and academic outcomes, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming their more affluent peers.
