Summary:

The Afton Central School District in New York operates two schools: Afton Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 6-12, and Afton Elementary School, serving grades PK-5. The district as a whole is ranked 734 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Afton Junior/Senior High School has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past 3 years, from 685 out of 1234 high schools in 2024-2025 to 777 out of 1228 in 2022-2023. However, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%. Despite these positive metrics, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and generally underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with some exceptions in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, Regents/Common Core Algebra II, and Regents/U.S. History and Government.

Afton Elementary School has also seen its statewide ranking decline over the past 3 years, from 2137 out of 2445 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1969 out of 2439 in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with some exceptions in 5th grade ELA and 5th grade Science. Both schools serve a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with the high school at 53.85% and the elementary school at 49.77%. The district faces challenges in improving academic performance and addressing high chronic absenteeism rates across its schools.
