Summary:

The Plattsburgh City School District consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Plattsburgh area.

Among the standout schools in the district, Plattsburgh Senior High School performs relatively well on Regents exams, exceeding state averages in several subject areas, and has a higher four-year graduation rate of 84.3% compared to the district and state. Meanwhile, Stafford Middle School outperforms the district and state on 8th grade assessments in Science and Math, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, suggesting smaller class sizes.

In contrast, the elementary schools in the district generally underperform the district and state on New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates well below 50% in many subjects and grade levels. This disparity in academic performance between the high school, middle school, and elementary schools suggests the need for the district to closely examine factors such as resource allocation, teaching quality, and student demographics to address the needs of all students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who make up a significant portion of the student population across the district.
