Summary:

The city of Fort Plain, New York is home to two schools: Harry Hoag School, an elementary school, and Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School. These schools are part of the Fort Plain Central School District and serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%. Additionally, its students excel on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Earth Science. In contrast, Harry Hoag School demonstrates strong academic performance at the elementary level, with 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math surpassing the district and state averages.

Both schools face challenges, such as a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School spends more per student than Harry Hoag School, the high school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that the Fort Plain Central School District has both strengths and areas for improvement, and further analysis and targeted interventions could help support the growth and success of all students in the district.
