Summary:

The city of Afton, New York is home to two schools - Afton Junior/Senior High School and Afton Elementary School, both part of the Afton Central School District. While the high school has a relatively high graduation rate, both schools struggle with low test scores and academic performance compared to state averages.

Afton Junior/Senior High School stands out with a 84.3% graduation rate, above the state average, and strong performance on some Regents exams. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and low proficiency in subjects like Chemistry and Geometry.
