Cortland City School District

The Cortland City School District in New York serves students from 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Cortland High School is the standout performer in the district, with a strong graduation rate, low dropout rate, and high proficiency on Regents exams. In contrast, the middle schools show mixed results, with Cortland Junior High School outperforming the district and state on assessments, while Randall Middle School lags behind.

The elementary schools, Franklyn S. Barry Primary School and Fe Smith Intermediate School, have lower performance compared to state averages on assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. The district as a whole has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Student-teacher ratios are generally low, ranging from 8.0 at Cortland Junior High School to 12.2 at Franklyn S. Barry Primary School, which may indicate a focus on smaller class sizes. Overall, the data suggests that Cortland High School is the strongest performing school in the district, while the middle and elementary schools have room for improvement.
