Summary:

The city of Cattaraugus, New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District. While the district's Cattaraugus-Little Valley High School stands out as a strong performer, the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School and Cattaraugus-Little Valley Middle School appear to be struggling, with lower proficiency rates and rankings compared to state averages.

The high school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York high schools, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong academic performance, with 100% proficiency in Algebra II and over 90% proficiency in English Language Arts and U.S. History. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%, indicating effective support for student success.

In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district lag behind, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments and lower SchoolDigger rankings and ratings. This suggests there may be opportunities to learn from the high school's practices and apply them to the lower grade levels. The district as a whole also faces systemic challenges, as evidenced by the below-average performance across many metrics, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% at the high school level.
