Summary:
The Alexandria Central School District in New York operates two schools: Alexandria Central Elementary School and Alexandria Central High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Alexandria Central High School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong Regents exam results, with many subjects seeing over 90% proficiency rates. It also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5% and a solid 84.3% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Alexandria Central Elementary School has seen improvements in its SchoolDigger ranking, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars in recent years, and outperforms the state average in math at multiple grade levels.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The high school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (54.91%) compared to the elementary school (44.18%), suggesting that economic factors may become more pronounced as students progress through the education system.
