Summary:

The Carthage Central School District in New York consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the schools, Black River School stands out as the highest-performing elementary school, with the district's best proficiency rates on state assessments for 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math.
