Canandaigua City School District

The Canandaigua City School District in New York serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School, Canandaigua Academy, and Canandaigua Middle School. The district's performance is mixed, with Canandaigua Academy standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Canandaigua Academy is ranked 143 out of 1,242 New York high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive Regents exam scores, with over 90% proficiency in several subjects, including Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography. Canandaigua Academy also has a high graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%.

Canandaigua Middle School also performs well, particularly in math, with over 60% proficiency in 6th and 7th grade state assessments and 100% proficiency in Regents Earth Science and Algebra I exams. In contrast, Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state averages, though the school does show some areas of strength, such as 4th grade English Language Arts and Math. The district's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest a commitment to providing resources and personalized attention to students, but the varying performance across the schools indicates that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to student outcomes.
