Summary:

The Tonawanda City School District operates two schools - Tonawanda Middle/High School and Tonawanda Elementary School. While Tonawanda Middle/High School has a relatively high graduation rate and strong performance on some Regents exams, both schools struggle with below-average proficiency rates on state assessments and high chronic absenteeism.

Tonawanda Middle/High School stands out with a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.5% dropout rate, but it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%. The school's performance on New York State Assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 37-56% in ELA and 44-56% in Math. However, the school excels in some Regents exams, such as Common Core Algebra II (97.67% proficient) and Common Core English Language Arts (81.75% proficient).

Tonawanda Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking decline, from 1358 out of 2413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1546 out of 2445 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 40-50%. Both schools have a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 50%, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the district.
