This small, rural school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 92.3% and a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention and support. However, the school's students generally perform below the state average on New York State Assessments, with some notable exceptions in Regents exams, where they demonstrate 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Algebra II.

Despite the academic performance challenges, Indian Lake Central School District invests heavily in its students, spending $29,981 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White (94.44%), with smaller percentages of African American (3.97%) and Hispanic (1.59%) students, reflecting the demographics of the surrounding community.

While Indian Lake Central School faces some academic performance hurdles, its strengths lie in its exceptional graduation and retention rates, as well as its students' strong performance on Regents exams. The school's high spending per student and small class sizes suggest a commitment to supporting student success, despite the challenges of serving a rural community. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which stands at 36.7%, could be a potential area of focus for the school to further improve student outcomes.
