East Syracuse Minoa Central School District

The East Syracuse Minoa Central School District consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in the East Syracuse area and provides educational opportunities for a diverse student population.

Among the standout schools in the district, Fremont Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on state assessments for English Language Arts and Math in grades 3-5, with the highest proficiency rates in the district. Pine Grove Middle School also stands out for its exceptional performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I. At the high school level, East Syracuse Minoa Central High School has strong Regents exam performance, with over 80% proficiency in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, Global History, and U.S. History.

However, the district also faces some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% at the high school and a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is slightly below the state average. Additionally, there are significant disparities in elementary school performance, with East Syracuse Elementary lagging behind the district and state averages on state assessments. The district's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 43.01% to 82.13%, suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may impact academic performance and require targeted support and interventions.
