Summary:

The Cairo-Durham Central School District in New York serves students from grades K-12 across three schools: Cairo-Durham Elementary School, Cairo-Durham High School, and Cairo-Durham Middle School. The district is making a substantial investment in education, with spending per student significantly higher than the state average.

Among the standout schools, Cairo-Durham Middle School performed exceptionally well on Regents exams, achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Living Environment. The school also had higher than district and state average proficiency rates in 7th grade Math and 8th grade Science. Cairo-Durham High School also demonstrated strong performance on several Regents exams, including Common Core Algebra II and Common Core English Language Arts, while maintaining a relatively low dropout rate.

Despite the district's overall strong performance, there are areas for improvement, such as 8th grade Math and certain Regents exams where proficiency rates fell below state averages. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools indicate that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. The district's focus on small class sizes and personalized attention suggests a commitment to addressing these challenges and supporting student success.
