Despite the district's significant investment in Ripley Central School, with $29,619 spent per student and a low 6.7 student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below average. This may be partly due to the high percentage of students (55.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged population. The school's overall ranking and rating suggest opportunities for improvement in curriculum, instructional practices, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
