Best Public Schools in Panama, NY

Summary:

The city of Panama, New York is home to two high-performing schools - Panama K-6 School, an elementary school, and Panama High School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, with Panama High School ranking in the top 167 out of 1,242 high schools in New York state and Panama K-6 School ranking in the top 650 out of 2,445 elementary schools.

Panama High School is a standout, with 100% of its students proficient in Regents exams for Common Core Algebra II and Common Core Geometry. The school also maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years. Panama K-6 School also performs well, with its students demonstrating strong proficiency in both ELA and Math on state assessments. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, under 9:1, which likely contributes to their academic success.

While the free/reduced lunch rates at both schools are not extremely high, they do indicate a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students. The Panama Central School District is commended for its ability to support these students and help them achieve at high levels. The high school's graduation rate of 84.3% is good but could potentially be improved, and the 4.9% dropout rate is an area for potential focus.
