Candor Central School District

The Candor Central School District in New York serves students from two schools - Candor Elementary School and Candor Junior-Senior High School. While the high school demonstrates strong performance on Regents exams, the elementary school lags behind on state assessments, indicating a need for the district to closely examine instructional practices and resource allocation across grade levels.

Candor Junior-Senior High School stands out for its significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average on several Regents exams, including Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Earth Science. In contrast, Candor Elementary School has consistently lower proficiency rates than the state average on the 3rd-6th grade New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to boost student achievement at the elementary level.

The Candor Central School District faces economic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, indicating the need for additional support and resources to address these barriers to learning. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Candor Junior-Senior High School may be contributing to the lower proficiency rates on state assessments, and should be a priority for the district to address.
