Summary:

The Panama Central School District is home to two high-performing schools - Panama K-6 School, an elementary school, and Panama High School. Both schools are ranked in the top 20% of their respective categories statewide, with Panama High School placing in the top 7% of New York high schools.

Panama High School is a standout, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 87th out of 1,234 high schools in the state. The school boasts an 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average, and a low 4.5% dropout rate. Panama K-6 School also performs exceptionally well, with 3rd-6th grade test scores surpassing the state average in both English Language Arts and Math, and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both schools in the Panama Central School District benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Panama K-6 at 7.8 and Panama High at 8.7.
