Summary:
The Argyle Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Argyle Elementary School and Argyle Junior/Senior High School. The district has seen strong academic performance, particularly at the high school level, with the junior/senior high school earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently outperforming the state average on Regents exams.
The Argyle Junior/Senior High School has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 564th out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 321st out of 1,234 in 2024-2025. The school's Regents exam performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Geometry, and U.S. History and Government. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, which may contribute to its academic success.
The Argyle Elementary School has also performed well, consistently outperforming the state average in 3rd and 4th-grade ELA and Math assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 40-74%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 40% is on par with the state average, indicating a potential strength in science education. However, the district may need to address the high chronic absenteeism rate at the junior/senior high school and ensure equitable resource allocation to support the needs of all students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates.
