Best Public Schools in Mexico, NY

Summary:

The city of Mexico, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative school. The schools in this area are struggling, with the Mexico Central School District ranked 787 out of 874 districts in New York and holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The standout schools in Mexico, New York are Mexico High School, which has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on Regents exams, and Mexico Middle School and Mexico Elementary School, which both consistently rank in the bottom 25% and 20% of New York schools respectively and have below-average proficiency rates on state assessments.

Despite the poor performance of the Mexico schools, the district spends relatively high amounts per student, with Mexico High School spending over $31,000 per student.
