Best Public Schools in Cuba, NY

Summary:

The city of Cuba, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Cuba-Rushford Elementary School, Cuba-Rushford High School, and Cuba-Rushford Middle School. These schools are part of the Cuba-Rushford Central School District and serve a community with a significant percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district, Cuba-Rushford Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance on state assessments, with 5th-grade students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 and high spending per student of $28,172 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Similarly, Cuba-Rushford High School has demonstrated strong performance on Regents exams, with students scoring above the state average in several subject areas, and a high four-year graduation rate of 84.3%.

While the schools in Cuba, New York generally perform well, there are some areas for improvement. The district's statewide rankings have declined in recent years, suggesting increasing competition or challenges compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could impact student learning and achievement. The district may also need to focus on addressing equity and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as all three schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
