Summary:
The Alfred-Almond Central School District in New York consists of two schools: Alfred-Almond Elementary School (grades PK-6) and Alfred-Almond Junior-Senior High School (grades 7-12). The district is ranked 250 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the district is the Alfred-Almond Junior-Senior High School, which is ranked 71 out of 1,234 New York high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has earned a 5-star rating. The high school consistently performs well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3, suggesting strong individual attention for students.
In contrast, the Alfred-Almond Elementary School shows more mixed performance. While it has strong proficiency rates in some areas like 4th grade ELA and 4th grade Math, it lags behind the state average in other grades and subjects, particularly in 3rd grade Math. The elementary school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (46.82%) compared to the high school (39.09%), which may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district that could be impacting student outcomes. Additionally, the per-student spending is higher at the high school ($31,526) than the elementary school ($24,833), raising questions about how resources are being distributed across the district.
