Cato-Meridian Central School District

Summary:

The Cato-Meridian Central School District is home to two schools: Cato-Meridian Elementary School and Cato-Meridian Junior-Senior High School. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school has shown consistent improvement in recent years.

The Cato-Meridian Junior-Senior High School is a strong academic performer, ranking 455 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for grades 7 and 8 exceed the state averages, and its 4-year graduation rate of 84.9% is noteworthy, though slightly below the state average. In contrast, Cato-Meridian Elementary School has shown a steady improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars in the past few years, and its proficiency rates in ELA and Math for grades 3-6 have been consistently improving, with the 6th-grade Math proficiency rate reaching an impressive 69.35% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Both schools in the Cato-Meridian Central School District have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to consider addressing. Additionally, while the high school is performing well above the state averages in ELA and Math, the elementary school is struggling to match the state's proficiency levels, suggesting a potential need for targeted interventions and support at the elementary school level.
