The Canandaigua City School District operates three schools - Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School, Canandaigua Academy, and Canandaigua Middle School - serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with Canandaigua Academy standing out as a particularly high-achieving school.

The school boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and excels in Regents exam performance, with high proficiency rates across subjects like Algebra II (98.51%), English Language Arts (89.47%), and Geometry (93.16%). In contrast, Canandaigua Middle School, ranked 462 out of 1,500 New York middle schools, performs well on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in English Language Arts (55.15-59.46%) and Math (56.3-75.42%).

While the schools in the Canandaigua City School District generally perform well, there are areas for improvement. The district maintains consistent performance across grade levels, but may need to address potential equity concerns related to the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 36.33% at Canandaigua Academy to 41.2% at Canandaigua Middle School. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges and continuing to focus on areas of lower performance could further enhance the district's academic excellence.
