Catskill Middle School also performs well, outpacing the district and state on 6th and 7th grade Math assessments and demonstrating high proficiency rates on Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I taken by 8th graders.

In contrast, Catskill Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
