Best Public Schools in Otego, NY

Summary:

The city of Otego, New York is home to two schools that serve students from middle school through high school: Unatego Junior-Senior High School and Unatego Middle School, which are part of the Otego-Unadilla Central School District. While the high school has a relatively high graduation rate, the middle school struggles with lower proficiency rates on state assessments, especially in English Language Arts. Additionally, the middle school serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic performance gap between the two schools.

Unatego Junior-Senior High School stands out with a 86.9% four-year graduation rate, but also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 8.7%. The school spends more per student ($17,638) compared to the middle school ($15,830), and has a higher 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Unatego Middle School has lower proficiency rates on state assessments and a 2-star rating, indicating room for improvement in academic outcomes.

The data suggests that the Otego-Unadilla Central School District should focus on addressing the performance gap between the middle school and high school, particularly by strengthening the curriculum and instructional practices at the middle school level. Additionally, the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the middle school's student population, which has a higher percentage of students from low-income families.
