Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District

The Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District in New York operates two schools: Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Elementary School and Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Junior/Senior High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across various academic metrics.

The elementary school is ranked 2,233 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the junior/senior high school is ranked 769 out of 1,242 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, with the 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate at the elementary school being just 11.84% compared to the state average of 43.64%. The high school also performs poorly on Regents exams, with proficiency rates well below state averages.

Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools, as both have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the schools are not demonstrating commensurate academic performance, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the district. Overall, the data indicates a need for the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the academic challenges facing their students.
