Best Public Schools in Port Byron, NY

Summary:

The city of Port Byron, New York is home to two schools: A A Gates Elementary School and Port Byron Senior High School, both part of the Port Byron Central School District. While Port Byron Senior High School demonstrates relatively strong performance on Regents exams, A A Gates Elementary School struggles to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in Math.

Port Byron Senior High School stands out with its high Regents exam proficiency rates in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Physics, often exceeding the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, significantly above the state average. In contrast, A A Gates Elementary School consistently receives a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other elementary schools in New York, and its proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the district and state averages.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance. Addressing attendance issues, improving elementary-level academic performance, and providing targeted interventions and support should be key priorities for the Port Byron school district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
