Argyle Central School District

The Argyle Central School District in New York is home to two schools: Argyle Elementary School and Argyle Junior/Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 517 out of 866 school districts in New York with a 2-star rating, the data reveals some standout elements at the individual school level.

Argyle Junior/Senior High School stands out with an impressive 97.1% 4-year graduation rate, significantly above the state average, as well as a 0.0% dropout rate. In contrast, Argyle Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students (46.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic proficiency rates, which are generally below the state averages in ELA and Math, with some exceptions in 5th and 6th grade Math.

Interestingly, Argyle Junior/Senior High School stands out with an 8th grade Science proficiency rate that is significantly higher than the state average (80% vs. 47.41%). This could be an area of strength for the school and warrants further investigation. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary school may be related to the additional resources and programming required for a secondary school.
