The Salmon River Central School District in New York operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 835 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools are performing well below state averages.

Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools within the Salmon River Central School District. All schools appear to be struggling, with students performing significantly below state averages on key metrics such as test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts ranged from only 20.83% at the 3rd grade level in the elementary schools to 67.57% at the high school, compared to the state average of 75.29%. Math proficiency was also low, with the highest percentage being 49.02% proficient or better in 3rd grade math at Salmon River Elementary, compared to the state average of 59.7%.

Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $31,657 at Saint Regis Mohawk School to $39,848 at Salmon River Elementary, the schools are not seeing commensurate improvements in student performance. This, combined with the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.97% at the Salmon River Middle School to 75.65% at Saint Regis Mohawk School, suggests that the district is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
