Canastota High School

Summary:

Canastota High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Canastota Central School District, with 561 students located in Canastota, NY. The school has consistently ranked in the middle tier of New York high schools over the past 10 years, typically between 300-500 out of over 1,200 schools, with a current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating it is performing around the state average.

Canastota High School generally performs above the state average on Regents exams, with particularly strong results in Algebra II, English Language Arts, Geometry, and Physics. However, the school struggles more on 7th and 8th grade state assessments in ELA and Math compared to the state. The school has a 4-year graduation rate around 90%, which is above the state average, but its dropout rate of around 8-10% is also higher than the state norm of around 5%. Additionally, Canastota has a chronic absenteeism rate of 30-38%, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates an issue with student engagement and attendance. Around 42% of Canastota students come from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, which is higher than many of the surrounding districts and likely contributes to some of the academic and attendance challenges the school faces.

When comparing Canastota to the nearby high schools, Jamesville-Dewitt and Fayetteville-Manlius are the top-performing schools in the region, consistently ranking in the top 50 high schools statewide with very strong test scores, graduation rates, and low chronic absenteeism. Schools like Chittenango, Cazenovia, and Morrisville-Eaton perform at a similar level to Canastota, while Nottingham and Oneida, which serve more economically disadvantaged student populations, struggle more academically compared to Canastota and the other surrounding schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
