Summary:
The city of Mexico, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Mexico Elementary School, Mexico Middle School, Mexico High School, and Oswego BOCES. While the high school and middle school show some strengths, the data reveals significant achievement gaps and performance challenges across the district, particularly at the elementary school level.
Mexico High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 589 out of 1,242 New York high schools with a 3-star rating. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong proficiency on Regents exams in subjects like Algebra II, Geometry, and U.S. History. In contrast, Mexico Middle School, while showing improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, still ranks lower overall at 1,234 out of 1,504 New York middle schools.
Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below state averages, especially in ELA and Math at the elementary and middle school levels. Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 52.08% to 59.45%. These socioeconomic factors likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by the Mexico Central School District, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and support to help close the achievement gaps and improve educational outcomes for all students.
