Summary:

The Schalmont Central School District in New York operates three schools: Jefferson Elementary School, Schalmont Middle School, and Schalmont High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Schalmont High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 374 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. In contrast, Schalmont Middle School appears to be the weakest performer in the district, with lower test scores and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson Elementary School demonstrates solid academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages on 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math assessments. The school also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 24.09%, suggesting a more affluent student population. However, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school and the elementary/middle schools is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation into the allocation of resources within the Schalmont Central School District.
