Fort Ann Central School District

The Fort Ann Central School District in New York consists of two schools: Fort Ann Elementary School and Fort Ann Middle/High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with both schools having over 90% of their students identifying as white.

Fort Ann Middle/High School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 62 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a 79.4% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, and its students performed well on state assessments, with 66.67% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Math and 64.71% proficient or better in Science. In contrast, Fort Ann Elementary School excels in 3rd-grade ELA and Math assessments, outperforming the state and district averages, but struggles with 4th and 5th-grade ELA performance.

While both schools have similar per-student spending of around $7,500, Fort Ann Middle/High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9, compared to 12.5 at Fort Ann Elementary School. This suggests a focus on providing more individualized attention at the secondary level. However, the relatively high dropout rate of 17.6% at the middle/high school is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and improvement efforts by the Fort Ann Central School District.
