Best Public Schools in Star Lake, NY

Summary:

The city of Star Lake, New York is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Clifton-Fine Elementary School and Clifton-Fine Junior-Senior High School. While the high school shows some academic strengths, the overall performance of the Clifton-Fine Central School District is below average compared to other districts in New York.

The high school stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.3% and strong performance on several Regents exams, exceeding state averages in subjects like Earth Science, U.S. History, and Geometry. In contrast, the elementary school struggles with lower proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages. Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.

Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of the schools in Star Lake. While the high school shows some academic strengths, the district as a whole is performing below average, and the elementary school is seeing a decline in its statewide ranking. Continued focus on improving student outcomes, particularly in core academic areas, may be a priority for the Clifton-Fine Central School District to ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
