The city of Ovid, New York has only one public school serving grades 6-12, South Seneca Middle/High School, which is part of the South Seneca Central School District.

Academically, South Seneca Middle/High School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are well below the state average across grades 6-8. However, the school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate is higher than the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.3%, indicating that a significant number of students are missing a substantial amount of school. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.1% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 5.1% is higher.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as nearly 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. To address these issues, the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance, student engagement, and graduation rates, while leveraging its relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student to better support student success.
