Summary:

The Johnstown City School District in New York consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with some schools having higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more disadvantaged student population.

Among the standout schools in the district, Knox Middle School appears to be the highest-performing, with stronger test scores compared to the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Warren Street School and Pleasant Avenue School, show significant performance gaps, with Warren Street consistently underperforming and Pleasant Avenue having limited data available.

While the overall academic performance in the district is below average, Johnstown High School stands out in specific subject areas like Chemistry, Global History, and U.S. History, where its proficiency rates exceed the state averages. However, the high school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 2 stars.
