North Syracuse Central School District

The North Syracuse Central School District consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves the North Syracuse area and provides a range of educational opportunities for students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance. Cicero-North Syracuse High School is ranked 310 out of 1,242 New York high schools and has a 4-star rating, with high proficiency rates on Regents and Common Core exams. The middle school, Gillette Road Middle School, is ranked 478 out of 1,504 New York middle schools and outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments. At the elementary level, Cicero Elementary School is ranked 1,196 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and significantly outperforms the district and state on state assessments.

In contrast, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools, such as Roxboro Road Middle School and Roxboro Road Elementary School, struggling to meet state proficiency standards. The wide range in free and reduced lunch rates, from 25.88% at Cicero Elementary to 64.48% at Roxboro Road Elementary, suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic performance of the schools. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to resources could be key priorities for the district.
