The Afton Central School District in New York operates two schools: Afton Junior/Senior High School and Afton Elementary School. The district as a whole is ranked 709 out of 865 school districts in New York, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts in the state.

At the high school level, Afton Junior/Senior High School has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 727-781 out of 1,242 New York high schools over the past 3 years. However, the school has performed well on some Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. Conversely, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is an area of concern.

The Afton Elementary School has an even lower statewide ranking, placing between 1,824-1,981 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school's performance on 3rd-5th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is generally below the state and district averages, with the exception of a relatively strong 5th grade ELA proficiency rate of 53.57%. Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with around 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
