Summary:
The city of Saranac, New York is home to three schools - Saranac High School, Saranac Middle School, and Saranac Elementary School - which serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals that Saranac Central School District has some standout schools, particularly at the high school and elementary levels, as well as areas for potential improvement.
Saranac High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.5% and a low dropout rate of 3.2%. The school also benefits from higher per-student spending of $18,328, which may contribute to its stronger performance metrics. In contrast, Saranac Middle School shows a positive trend in academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in the upper grades compared to the lower grades.
Saranac Elementary School is a standout, outperforming the district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments for grades 3-5. The school's strong academic performance in Math, with over 60% of 3rd and 5th graders proficient or better on the NY State Assessments, is particularly noteworthy. However, the district as a whole has a predominantly white student population, which may be an area for the district to explore and address.
