Summary:
The city of Nunda, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Dalton-Nunda Secondary School (high school), Dalton-Nunda Elementary School, and Dalton-Nunda Middle School. These schools are part of the Dalton-Nunda Central School District (Keshequa).
Among the standout schools, Dalton-Nunda Secondary School performs well on Regents/Common Core exams, particularly in Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. However, the school has a lower statewide ranking and rating compared to other high schools. Dalton-Nunda Middle School also excels in certain areas, such as 100% proficiency in the Algebra I Regents exam, but its statewide ranking and rating have declined over the years.
In contrast, Dalton-Nunda Elementary School and Dalton-Nunda Middle School struggle with lower proficiency rates compared to the state in 3rd-8th grade state assessments, especially in English Language Arts and Math. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary school level. Despite the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios across the district, these factors do not seem to translate to consistently strong academic performance.
