Best Public Schools in Skaneateles, NY

Summary:

The city of Skaneateles, New York is home to a high-performing school district with four schools: two elementary schools (Waterman Elementary School and State Street Intermediate School), one middle school (Skaneateles Middle School), and one high school (Skaneateles Senior High School). The district has consistently demonstrated academic excellence, with its high school and middle school ranking among the top schools in New York state.

Skaneateles Senior High School stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top 50 high schools in New York and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students have consistently outperformed state and district averages on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 90.74% to 98.77% in various subject areas. Skaneateles Middle School is another high-performing school, ranking 121st out of 1,504 middle schools in New York and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the secondary schools in the Skaneateles Central School District demonstrate exceptional academic performance, the elementary schools show more mixed results, with some grade levels exceeding the state and district averages, while others fall behind. This suggests a potential area for improvement and further investigation. Additionally, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the district, ranging from 9.72% to 16.55%, suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may have implications for the availability of resources and support services for students from lower-income families.
