The Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District, which serves the 13131 zip code area, consists of two schools: Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Elementary School and Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Junior/Senior High School. Both schools have relatively low performance metrics compared to state averages, with the elementary school ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools and the high school ranking in the bottom 40% of New York high schools.
The elementary school has an enrollment of 602 students, with a 57.64% free/reduced lunch rate and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1. Proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science are all below 33%. The high school, with an enrollment of 464 students, has a 56.9% free/reduced lunch rate and a student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1. The high school's graduation rate is 84.3%, and its dropout rate is 4.9%. Proficiency rates on Regents exams range from 13.64% to 75%, indicating significant academic challenges for students.
Overall, the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District, ranked 772 out of 865 school districts in New York and with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, is performing poorly compared to other districts in the state. The high spending per student does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for students, and the high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage may be contributing factors to the low performance. Significant improvements are needed to provide students in this area with a high-quality education.
