Summary:

The city of Medina, New York is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The Medina Junior-Senior High School stands out with a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, though it also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%. The alternative Orleans-Niagara BOCES has a very low student-teacher ratio of 2.8, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

Overall, the schools in the Medina Central School District generally perform below the state averages on academic measures, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. For example, the 7th grade ELA proficiency rate at Medina Junior-Senior High School was 45.21%, compared to the state average of 50.99%. The district also struggles with Regents exam proficiency, with several subjects falling well below the state averages. Additionally, Clifford Wise Intermediate School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1,646 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,801 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients in the Medina Central School District, ranging from 45.32% at Medina Junior-Senior High School to 53.66% at Clifford Wise Intermediate School, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the lower academic performance observed in the district, and the district may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the needs of this population.
