Best Public Schools in Cooperstown, NY

Summary:

The city of Cooperstown, New York is home to two schools: Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School and Cooperstown Elementary School, both part of the Cooperstown Central School District. The data reveals that Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in New York state with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School boasts impressive academic achievements, with students significantly outperforming state averages on a range of assessments and Regents exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 97.5% proficiency rate in Regents/Common Core Algebra II, compared to the state average of 74.88%. The school also excels in subjects like Regents/Common Core English Language Arts (91.67% proficient) and Regents/Global History and Geography (100% proficient). Additionally, the school maintains a strong four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%.

In contrast, the data for Cooperstown Elementary School suggests some areas for improvement. While the elementary school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, the higher spending per student and slightly higher student-teacher ratio at the junior/senior high school may contribute to the strong academic performance at that level. This highlights the potential importance of resource allocation and class sizes in supporting student outcomes.
