Plattsburgh Senior High School has shown a steady rise in its statewide ranking, moving from 603rd out of 1,190 New York high schools in 2021-2022 to 465th out of 1,242 in 2023-2024.

Stafford Middle School, while ranked in the middle of New York middle schools, has demonstrated 100% proficiency rates in Regents Algebra I and Earth Science, significantly outpacing the district and state averages.

The schools in the Plattsburgh City School District have relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 38.28% to 59.08%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
