Summary:

The Averill Park Central School District in New York serves students from 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools show a mix of high-performing and more variable-performing institutions, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.

Algonquin Middle School is the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 400-500 middle schools in New York state and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are significantly above the district and state averages, particularly in 6th and 7th grade, and it has impressive Regents exam pass rates. In contrast, the three West Sand Lake Elementary, Miller Hill, and Poestenkill Elementary schools show more variability in their performance, with some grade levels and subjects excelling while others lag behind.

At the high school level, Averill Park High School students perform well above the state average on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 70-90% across various subjects. However, the school's 84.3% four-year graduation rate and 4.5% dropout rate suggest room for improvement in supporting student success and retention. Overall, the Averill Park Central School District appears to have a mix of high-performing and more variable-performing schools, with opportunities to replicate the success of Algonquin Middle School and address areas of concern at the elementary and high school levels.
