Unadilla Valley Central School District

The Unadilla Valley Central School District operates two schools: Unadilla Valley Elementary School, serving grades PK-6, and Unadilla Valley Secondary School, an alternative school serving grades 5-12. The district serves a predominantly low-income population, with both schools reporting high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

While Unadilla Valley Secondary School outperforms the district and state averages on several Regents exams, including 100% proficiency in Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Geometry, both schools struggle with proficiency on New York State assessments, often scoring well below state averages in English Language Arts and Math.

In contrast, Unadilla Valley Elementary School has a lower per-student spending of $26,854 compared to the $31,961 spent per student at the secondary school. Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Unadilla Valley Elementary at 11.9 and Unadilla Valley Secondary at 11.2. Overall, the data suggests the Unadilla Valley schools face unique challenges in serving their low-income student population, with a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
